Remarks: Close-up of Cargo 360 N301JD (FLT GGC561) climbing out from RWY 25R enroute to Ted Stevens Anchorage Int'l (PANC). Aircraft is ex-Korean Air HL7470.
Remarks: It's 1:43am and dinner time for this ex-Korean classic. Formerly HL7408, Seattle-based startup Cargo 360 now operates this aircraft, another -200, and one -300 on freighter flights between Incheon, Anchorage, and New York. Their very smart livery definitely compliments the impressive operation at JFK's six-year-old $102 million Korean Air Cargo facility, one of the coolest parts of which is the yellow "Nose Dock" you can see up against the open nose. EOS 20D, EF-S 10-22 at 10mm, Av f20.0 for a 30 second exposure.
Remarks: Its pretty quiet on the flight deck of this ex-Korean Air Cargo bird at 3am, but one deck below cargo is being loaded through the nose and the side doors for the return flight to ANC.
Remarks: This ex-Korean Air Cargo bird is being loaded with cargo at 3 a.m. for the return flight to ANC. You can still see the old Korean regi (HL 7408) on the tail.
Remarks: Brand new ACMI operator seen with its first aircraft at Boeing Field. The company headquarters in is Seattle,WA but the main operations will be out of Korea. Aircraft is ex Korean Air HL7470.
