Clx @ Pvg
 

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

Oh :mad:

Someone is gonna get smacked for that....

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...)

Hey, I also noticed a tail strut Ratty...rules changed have they???:E :ouch:

It's LX-TCV I believe.


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

nope,not all. Some are GE Cf6

Buster.

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

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

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

Another month's worth of repairs...

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???

I really have no idea mate. Anyone else have a clue?

It looks scary to me!

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

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

Don't worry lads! I've asked the question on the Engineers forum about the windows.:ok: TBA...

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

MAS cargo (AAI):ok: are flying most of the F1 charters

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...)

The answer is : the cheapest...

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?
