What is F1 stuff and who are THEY?

F1= Formula One

They= those who are the organizers of the F1 (formula One) race

Hi LGL737, welcome back. Yes, we're flying the cars/equipment out of MXP as I write this. First flight yesterday, second one should leave MXP to IND any time now.

Hiya RAT!!!

Thank you very much. And thanks for the Info. Just been out on a flight over the "beautiful" rainy country, and was behind one of your guys on Departure. Nice sight!!!!
Best regards

CR2,
actually you hauling it on CV or AFX acft?

C1,
Our -400s. 115T on first flight, 108T on second. MXP-IND direct.

CR2,
just curious how doing that from ops side of view - you either have free slot in schedule, allowing to make 16-19 hrs roundtrip, or you cancelling some scheduled europe-north america sector.... or?
always thought that CV operating very tight schedule on it's own fleet.

I am curious - are the cars on pallets or crated, or are they rolled in?

Cars got dressed with small tires before getting on pallets :(

C1,
There is a lot of prestige involved with F1, so we make an effort; they won't deal with just anyone who happens to have a spare freighter around. We took delivery of our 11th 400 a few weeks ago, which has eased things a little schedule-wise. Two aircraft back from C & D checks which are also back on the programme. As you mentioned, AFX also do flights for us. So, yes we can squeeze the odd charter in.
