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..
(Sorry for the quality all were taken on my blackberry)Resting on the ground in Riga, i love this livery..!!
Big..?
Break Change
Starting to load
Fully loaded with food off to Afgahnistan for the troops.
The Upper deck cabin, roomy seating for 6..!
Flightdeck views
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
On the tarmac waiting to start loading
Unusual view out of the upper deck exit.
Starting to load
TNT 747 pulling on to stand next to us.
All closed up ready for push.
Pushing back
Taxy...
I did get some t/o pics but they ar'nt very good, i need a new camera...!
Hope you liked erm.
Cheers
Rob
