Quoting ltbewr (Reply 7): Perhaps this contained some of the stuff used by NBC from their broadcasting staff at Sochi or by major advertisers there ? |
Quoting heysfo (Thread starter): Odd its a "Giant" Boeing 747 Dreamlifter - Atlas Air 8647 |
Quoting Allee (Reply 1): It's N263SG, a passenger 744. |
Quoting Western727 (Reply 11): Am I alone in thinking that's ridiculous? Shouldn't that be a given? |
Quoting clickhappy (Reply 16): Italy is the Middle East now? |
Quoting JonnyGT (Reply 20): The NHL scheduled these charters, and they were not strictly for one "nation", so to speak. All NHL players who were remaining in Sochi (USA, CAN, FIN, SWE) took these charters back to the USA to rejoin their teams. |
Quoting as77w (Reply 21): I find this very hard to believe considering how unpopular the idea of players under NHL contracts participating in these Olympics was with money hungry team owners and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. Sure, lets charter all of our players a personal 747 to and from the olympic games that we DON'T want them playing in... |

Quoting Stabilator (Reply 24): Id imagine this flight was carrying almost all of the NHL players that attended the games. I watched an Olympics interview with some Minnesota Wild players who were headed to Sochi, and they said they were meeting in EWR to fly over there. The NHL season continues in a few days, so it would make sense for them to come back together. I may be wrong on this though! |
Quoting kl692 (Reply 25): Sorry but you are you are wrong on this. |
Quoting rwy04lga (Reply 30): Why would DL fly into EWR as opposed to the more usual DL hubs? |
