Strangest Cargo
I heard someone mention PPRune and decided to see what the place was like. They had a topic called strangest cargo that was stickied and they had some real interesting things to say! So I figured I ask here. What's the strangest cargo you've had?
Some of theirs included: A concept lamborgini A whale A white rhino being flown to be let loose A mulit million $ art collection 40 tones of euro's 3 x juvenile Rothschild Giraffe boullion 11 elephants dolphins engines to kuwait confiscated from Saddam Can anyone here add to this? |
Does 190k pounds of asparagus count? Lima to Miami
|
The reason they needed to fly it makes it count!

Rocket Parts
Armored Cars X Ray Machines Telecommunications "stuff" into Beirut right after the war Jet Engines Race Cars Just the usual !!! |
When I was on C-5s...
A B-52 to the museum at Wright Patterson. We had the wings removed and crated next to the fuselage. The Pope-mobile. DSRV's a few times and...other things...hehe. |
I remember we un-loaded a container one night, it had what looked like a rock group's stage equipment, we could see the drum set in-side. Pretty cool, don't remember the name of the band that was printed on the drum set though. . . big and little jet engines, lots of flowers, live crickets, fish, lots of live birds lately, body parts. . .

Snakes on a Plane: From ABI to DFW, 4 boxes of live rattlesnakes loaded in the bag compartment of a Bandit. If you know what a Bandit is you know that the cargo compartment is separated by the passenger compartment by a curtain that snaps to inside wall of the fuselage. Good thing the boxes didnt come open in flight!

$240 Million in cash, just to rub it in they put the pallet in the forward-most main deck position just aft of the smoke curtain.
