It takes two tech stops to get to the USA. UHHH or RJCC is the first and PANC is the second. That's because freighters fly full, usually about 240,000 lbs payload on the classic. The only limit to payoad is MZFW or volume.

Interestingly enough, the same aircraft that lost the engine was the same one that had an RTO at Khabarovsk (KHV, UHHH), N709CKS. Of course, both incidents are unrelated.
I heard that some of the crew have dubbed her, 709, "Christine".

OK, just flew with the engineer and got the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Only blew four tires total. They were at 130 knots on TO roll , heard a big bang and then saw a big orange flash out the right side and rejected. The runway is 13,100 feet long and they had 2 to 3 thousand feet remaining after they stopped and as they taxied off the runway, they felt the bumpity bump bump and knew they had flattened a tire, They shredded two on TO and thermalled the other 2. yea they trashed an engine but rubber was found in the # 3 afterwards. Quite a wierd scenarioo. No , the parking brake was not set! Twas the F/O's leg. oh, and for the cap off, we just came into ANC from UHHH (khv) on another AC and guess what we found during the post flight walkaround, yep another blown tire, shredded, ripped from rim to rim. It is a rough runway in uhhh/.khv Time for bed! been a looooooooooong day!
