Hi Guys,

I recntly had to take a trip to Riga with my new company to play with one of our 747's, then managed to fly on the aircraft to LGG where we loaded a full load of horses and took them to YYC.

Wanted to show some pictures of my new baby.. :D (Sorry for the quality all were taken on my blackberry)

Resting on the ground in Riga, i love this livery..!!

Fully loaded with food off to Afgahnistan for the troops.

The Upper deck cabin, roomy seating for 6..!

The follwoing day we flew on N919CA from RIX-LGG., the takeoff out of RIX is something i will never forget, Max de-rated thrust, flaps 10 and we went up like a rocket. Inital climb rate was 6,000fpm..!!!! and from stand still on the runway in RIX to FL400 took just 14mins..!!

Any empty B747-400BCF..

Crusing to LGG (didnt come out as i couldnt use the flash)

Just landed in LGG for a crew rest, ready to load horses the next morning, i took a couple of pics on the ramp, again crap quality..

Following morning, prepping the horse stalls for the flight to YYC

Jason, - Sorry i would have given you the heads up if i knew you were around.

Yes N919CA did a charter EMA-SEA for a 787 Trent 1000 on it.

Cheers
Rob.
