2009 Formula 1 Movements
 

The grand prix is fast approaching (yay! i cant wait!) and we usually get all sorts of freight charters coming into MEL/AVV, usually emirates skycargo and others.

So, any movements for the Formula 1 can be put in this thread!

Apparently a couple of SIA 747-400F's were out at EMA on Sunday the 15th and also Friday the 20th for the teams.

Apparently an Atlas Air as well.

Their should be more leaving from Germany/mainland europe somewhere as well.

edit: first was 9v-sfb, second 9v-sfp (from another forum in england)

There was a Sing cargo in last Tuesday for about 2 hours at YMAV. Not sure if it was for the airshow or GP.

Eveninga all,

'Cargolux 730' just landed into AVV. Reg was LX-YCV.

Also, Martinair 747-400BCF PH-MPR is scheduled into AVV 22Mar 09:30 utc as MPH091. Etd is sched at 23Mar MPH094 01:30 utc, to HKG.

Noticed an Etihad a/c in Formula 1 livery parked near the pond in Sydney this morning.

I dont know if it was the same one but A6-EHJ (the F1 scheme) departed Sydney today my guess as the usual EY451.

Here's the explanation:

The aircraft has been in that paint scheme for a while. As far as im aware its a frequent visitor into Sydney and i have seen it in Melbourne too.

Its first visit to Australia was in to Melbourne on 30 March, operated the 2nd direct Melbourne-Abu Dhabi flight iirc.

An AirBridge cargo 744F came into Tullamarine the other day.

Anyone know why?
