[ErwinS]

Maybe a long shot but maybe one of the freight dogs here have some info about airlines interested in two 744BCF's to lease.

Rgds.

Let me guess: coming from ACG?

[GlueBall]

...the new classics.

[22k]

Ate these the ones that are basically brand new sitting in the desert?

[ErwinS]

ACG? What's that?

No desert aircraft.

[PT6A]

ACG - Air Cargo Germany

Curiosity's sake only, which two?

[Willit Run]

Lease, no, buy yes.

[B-HKD]

Whats the big secret?

Both are ACT Airlines aircraft.

Ex. ANA -400s LN928(1992') and 979(1993')

Both are BDSF converted aircraft by IAI in LLBG/TLV. (Have heard only negative things compared to the BCF conversion)

Odd. Then why does the TS specifically mention BCF, not BDSF?

[CEJM]

If I would hazard a guess I would say they are Martinair aircraft. 4 B744 BCF's of which two fly for ACG, one flies for martinair and the last one was seen stored in Xiamen, not sure where it is now.

[ErwinS]

Thnx for the usefull info.

2 B744SFs for lease

As you can see from B-HKD aircraft details, these are available for 'wet lease' or 'ACMI' work. The planes themselves are staying with ACT as far as I'm aware.

[B-HKD]

Also 5 -400F for sale at the moment.

1. ex. China Airlines 747-409F LN1249 (del. 2000) (CF6-80C2B1F)
2. ex. China Airlines 747-409F (Last flying for Yangtze River Express) LN1263 (del. 2001) (CF6-80C2B1F)
3. ex. China Airlines 747-409F LN1252 (del. 2000) (CF6-80C2B1F)
