- IgorPartola 9y agoHoly crap this is amazing. The end of their About video is hilarious.
- bob_theslob646 9y agoThis is the video. https://vimeo.com/178970218 https://vimeo.com/178970218 Start it at 7:10. Effectively, the aircraft drops water on a guy who is not expecting it.
- dingaling 9y agoAlso Atlas, Western Global, National, Kalitta... This article makes it sound like the 747 is gone from USA skies but it just took longer to transition to all-cargo work than Pan Am originally envisaged. They thought it would last a decade before being displaced by supersonic passenger transports. UPS haven't even received their newly-ordered 747-8F freighters yet.
