I cannot belive it, you just type p r o n a i r into the google search and....now it comes......it gives you a direct link to the website of this airline....fantastic....can you belive this???

The guy who invented this "goggel" or how ever it is called, must make a lot of money with this.

I wasnt looking for smart a**se answers here. I thought it might
be of interest that a heretofore non-mentioned cargo airline
would generate some discussion on a Pilot forum. Particularly
since they operate classic B747F aircraft and there has been
alot of discussion about classic crews recently. If I wanted
childish replies, I would have gone to a childrens forum.

Take it easy, all your questions could be answered with their website which you could find with google.

If you want a discussion, just ask the right questions. A lot of people ask questions which could be answered with a little search on google.

And somethimes we just think to be a little funny

Turns out this aircraft is the ex G-INTL. I guess this old bird
did live to fly another day.

G-INTL spent weeks outside CLX's hangar at ELLX a few years ago when AFX was flying for them. As far as I can remember, corrosion in the fuel tanks was one of the more complicated issues. Along with a fist full of other stuff.

Just watched the video on the Pronair site. It shows a 747 taking off but not bringing the gear up for some reason. That's how to impress the customer!
Love the paint job though.

I don't know which -70 engined jumbo this is but if it is the old 921FT the company will go out of business trying to fix it.

The Pronair website video shows an all white 747 so I presume it's the same airplane pre paint job.

It is the former G-INTL, and we didn't go broke getting her back in the air, despite a lenghty stay at Garuda. Try finding TR actuators for -70A's. My word....

Heard a rumour

I heard a rumour from a reliable source that Pronair are going to fly for the Chinese - China to Parchim. +300 hrs per month. Don`t know how long for.
