Very Nice shots :)

Been in the actual aircraft many times..

They are being used to carry Canadian equipment overseas.

Six man crew and sleeping quaters on upper deck for all the crew...they usually arive here with twenty men.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug :)

IMHO i think the 225 lands easier than a 747
