Freight Dogs Finally a forum for those midnight prowler types who utilise the unglamorous parts of airports that many of us never get to see. Freight Dogs is for pilots and crew who operate mostly without SLF.

Clx @ Pvg
I heard that one of the 400s nose kissed the tarmac last night. Apparently gear was cycled for troubleshooting
I'm out of the loop this week. Can anyone add something? Is it still there?

Well, at least it makes it somewhat easier to get in and out...

Aircraft recognition course needed for the ground staff, maybe? (Although it is kind of hard to immagine how you can mix up an Antonov with a 747...)

It's LX-TCV I believe.


Out of interest, are all CLXs 744s RR powered?

PVG airport rules, same as KMQ. Not allowed to operate without one.

LX-TCV, RR powered. Total 5 GE, 8 RR.

Fair enough Ratty! Pity they aren't as strict at the other end of the airframe!

Still under warranty I hope!

What's the deal with the beams through the windows? Surely there isn't any load bearing capacity through the airframe there???

It looks scary to me!

Would love to know if it flies straight when this is all done. Used to fly on a Herk that had a rebuild and it never flew straight and level again

With one a/c out of service, are Cargolux doing any F1 charters this year? I think they had a fair share last year?

Kestrel: No F1 this year & nothing to do with the aircraft being out of service.

On a similar note to .. Kestrel's post:
anyone got any ideas who does MotoGP and World Superbike charters?
(I heard MAS for most of 2005 for MOtoGP...)

Righto, cheers. Would have thought so.
Does this mean several carriers could be doing that in one season, or one particular carrier is appointed for the whole season?
CLX ever done MotoGP and/or Superbike charters?
