[Flightgear-devel] [OT] Spectacular ground transport
Tonight an old KLM-747 will be shipped through the canals of Amsterdam on it's way from Schiphol Airport (EHAM) to the new Aviodrome (http://www.aviodrome.nl) museum at Lelystad airport (EHLE). I found some pictures at: http://www.ruudleeuw.com/phbuk-15dec04.htm The transport will pass near where I live in a few hours, so I'm tying to see if I can catch a glimpse.

Well, I can only respond with an air transport: http://www.flugzeugbilder.de/show.php?id=256867 (I haven't scanned my own pictures yet; if you search for Beluga and MUC you'll find lots of pictures on the net) There an A310 (history of this plane: http://www.planemad.net/Production_List/Airbus/A310/276.html) was cut and the front part was brought to the Fraunhofer Institute in Holzkirchen to serve as an laboratory for research of the effects of long distance flying on humans. The first part of the plane was carried by an Beluga to MUC (EDDM) and from there by a extra heavy road transport to its destination. As my dad is/was responsible for this laboratory (the last thing before retirement) I could be at the airport as the Beluga arrived and unloaded the plane. Currently I'm trying to convince them to use FlightGear for their visuals... CU, Christian Ampere K.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] [OT] Spectacular ground transport
Any more background on why the aircraft is being transported this way? The obvious solution to getting the aircraft there would be to fly it in. EHLE has 4,265ft of runway; more than enough to get a 747 down with nil payload and a light fuel load. (A 747 with payload + light fuel can reputedly stop in 3,000ft). Was there a major mechanical problem with the A/C while it was at EHAM? Or had it just been out of service there for a long time? Anecdotally; Several VC-10s were mothballed in the UK for years and then flown out for recomissioning to the RAF with nothing more than a basic VFR panel and still wearing their protective coat of storing-wax.
