Jump to postSo, today QR707 (8/5)is arriving earlier than scheduled into IAD. I tracked the aircraft from departure DOH and FR24 showed about 4:20p arrival time until a short while ago. It now shows an earlier time than that, possibly closer to 4pm. And it left about 1hr late if that can be believed. QR707 from...

Any 777F loadmasters out there? We are trying to ship a crate that is pretty big: 140" x 120" x 163". The only cargo airplane it will even fit through the door on is a 777F. Is shipping by sea an option, given regular 20ft or 40ft containers of various sizes going everywhere? Did you...

Jump to postI have a dim memory of using a similar service between LHR and LGW in the late 1980s.

I don't know the security arrangements but it d...
