Vultur Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Hai scritto una cosa interessante per me: una compagnia all-cargo tipo Fedex. Io vado a sciare (andavo a sciare ...) una o due volte l'anno. Una volta avevo tutto, scarponi, sci, ecc ... Oggi affittano sci ottimi e non c'è bisogno di trasportarli con il portasci (da comprare) sul tetto dell'auto in autostrada, nè di fare la manutenzione, lamine, sciolina, ecc .... Dipende tutto da quel che si vuole. Se una cosa la si usa tanto o poco, o così così. Magari può convenire affittare ore di volo da una compagnia all cargo tipo Fedex che accollarsi gli onori ed oneri di una propria flotta da trasporto. In questo modo gli aerei sono di un altro e se la vede lui con la manutenzione. Facciamo una colletta compriamo unos scassatissimo Il-76 che carica più di un A-400M, lo dipingiamo tutto rosa e lo affittiamo; quando il mulo non ce la fa proprio più facciamo come Salud (Bud Spencer) e Plata (Terence Hill): freghiamo l'assicurazione inscenando disastri aerei ad hoc e intaschiamo il risarcimento, pero: "... in questo lavoro, se ci vai troppo leggero l'assicurazione non ci casca, se ci vai troppo pesante invece ........." hi hi hihihi.

TT-1 Pinto Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Chi acquisterà le officine dove Boeing ha prodotto, per anni, i Globemaster III ? Quote Boeing is looking to sell the facilities in Long Beach, California where it built the C-17A Globemaster III cargo aircraft. This will bring a more definitive end to the company’s serial production of military aircraft in Southern California and makes it even less likely that it would restart production of the airlifters in response to emerging U.S. Air Force demands. At the same time, that space could be very attractive to up-and-coming space launch firms, such as Virgin Orbit or SpaceX, who might be looking to expand their operations and there have also been proposals for a more dramatic overhaul of the area. The Chicago-headquartered plane maker put the property on the market with the help of real estate brokerage NKF Capital Markets on Nov. 5, 2018. The nearly four million square foot plot of land adjacent to Long Beach Airport includes the 1.1 million square foot main assembly building where workers built just shy of 280 C-17s for the U.S. Air Force and more than a half dozen foreign customers. So far, there is no public asking price for the property. Fonte: thedrive.com ... Boeing Is Selling Off Its Historic C-17 Production Line Facility In Long Beach ...
