- redis_mlc 7y agoThanks, I needed a laugh! The Orbis plane, used in serial eye surgeries, works better than containers because: 1) the patients are only in the plane for minutes, not weeks 2) It's the only reasonable way to get specialists and their specialized instruments into areas short on both staff and equipment. 3) Most countries leave aircraft alone at an active airport. Anything else shipped can get looted. The current plane is a former Fedex MD-10. https://www.orbis.org/en/what-we-do/flying-eye-hospital https://www.orbis.org/en/what-we-do/flying-eye-hospital
