LUFTHANSA FINALIZES 777 FREIGHTER ORDER Lufthansa fi nalized an order for fi ve 777 freighters valued at $1.3 billion at list prices that will consolidate its position as Europe’s biggest cargo airline. The German carrier, which announced its intention to order the aircraft in March, has yet to decide whether they will fl y for its Lufthansa Cargo unit, or AeroLogic, the airline’s joint venture with DHL Express. Lufthansa is likely to decide closer to the delivery of the planes which is scheduled for 2013. Boeing’s 777 is the world’s longest range twin-engine freighter, able to fl y 4,900 miles with a maximum payload of 102 metric tons. Leipzig-based AeroLogic operates eight leased 777 freighters and Lufthansa Cargo has 18 MD-11 cargo aircraft. Lufthansa Cargo recently reported its profi t nearly doubled in the fi rst quarter to $92 million.

The C-2 Greyhound is a twin-engine cargo aircraft, designed to carry mail and supplies to and from aircraft carriers of the United States Navy. Its primary mission is Carrier onboard delivery. The C-2 Greyhound, a derivative of the E-2 Hawkeye, shares wings and power plants with the E-2 Hawkeye, but has a widened fuselage with a rear loading ramp. The fi rst of two prototypes fl ew in 1964 and production began the following year. It replaced the piston-engined C-1 Trader in the COD role.

It can also carry lit- ter patients in medical evacuation mis- sions. A cage system or transport stand restrains cargo during carrier launch and landing. The large aft cargo ramp and door and a powered winch allow straight-in rear cargo loading and un- loading for fast turnaround. Its ability to airdrop supplies and personnel, fold its wings, and generate power for engine starting and other uses provide an operational versatility found in no other cargo aircraft. The fact that this aircraft has four vertical stabilizers is due to aircraft carrier hangar deck height restrictions. Only three of these stabilizers have working rudders. For adequate direc- tional control of an aircraft of this size, a single rudder would have been too tall. It also places the outboard rudder sur- faces directly in line with the propeller wash, providing effective yaw control even as the plane’s airspeed approaches zero, as during takeoff and landing Between November 1985 and Feb- ruary 1987, VR-24 (the former Navy Transport Squadron) and its seven reprocured C-2As demonstrated the aircraft’s exceptional operational readiness. The squadron delivered 2,000,000 pounds of cargo, 2,000,000 pounds of mail and 14,000 passengers in the Eu- ropean and Mediterranean theatres. The C-2A(R) also served the carrier battle groups during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, as well as currently Airport Press Metro Edition • June 2011 • 17 Feature TALES OF PAN AM: 350 EGGS...

We fl ight attendants used to say that it’s almost as if the airplane smells the coffee brewing -- because sure enough, whenever we’d start a service, here comes the turbulence. The aft galley on the 707 was a small space, requiring intricate choreography among the three fl ight attendants, with each person trying to take up as little room as possible. In order to serve 350 fresh scrambled eggs, I knew I’d have to use the extra space provided by a rickety service shelf. The problem with that shelf is that it was laid across the galley counters, with no way to secure it, and it pinned the galley girl inside the galley. Very carefully, I placed the fi rst containers of eggs all across the shelf in order to rotate them in and out of the ovens, where they would require careful scrambling.
