DUE out this weekend - cars, TV cameras and other kit

Post by Skymonster » Wed Mar 03, 2010 11:04 pm

Messers Button, Hamilton, Schumaker and co. launch their 2010 circus in Bahrain on 14th March. Some of you will recall what that meant for EMA last year. Those of us with an interest more in the skies than on the track might do well to keep an eye on EMA this weekend as a little bird tells me there's a total of three movements shipping stuff out for the start of the season over the two days - should be in daylight too.

As much as I like cryptic clues, I don't recall, so would anyone care to enlighten me/us?! :)

The new Formula One season is about to start... Equipment and cars for the "fly away" races (i.e. non-European races) goes out of EMA... The Bahrain race is one week away now... Last year the flights were done by Atlas Air, Emirates Skycargo, Singapore Cargo, Malaysia Cargo 747Fs... No more clues... Trust me, just expect some flights out this weekend - both Saturday and Sunday...

DHL are the official carrier for F1 cargo.

its a long way to the first GP so everything is flown out. including trucks.

best aircraft to fly it all out is the AN124.

as it may all go together, you may see more than 1 AN124 on the deck at the same time.

Close, but no cigar... On the right track, just not AN-124s! Expect some large freighters over the weekend at EMA.

aaaaahhhhhhh got it now.

Singapore cargo did a flight last year with a 744F which came in from Amsterdam.

the main cargo is contracted to Cargolux as Bernie prefers them i believe.

so i expect a Singapore 744F and a Cargolux 747F

Ah well, I was hoping for An-124s personally, or even Il-76s at a push!

Much appreciated. Thanks for all the info you can us.

Anyone got any idea what the 747 tomorrow morning will be? I'm going for that, wind and weather look fantastic!

I'm guessing another Atlas Air maybe?
