kangarooistan /peramangk brought next idea :
I was wondering if it may be possible to set up a weekly flight with
several hundred live camels , av 500 kg each, standing 3 meters
tall , , from outback Australia , into Egypt , Pakistan . or such
countries
OK , lets try a bit more specific question
If you wanted to fly regular loads of live camels to the middle east
Which type of air plane would you look at and where wold you start
looking and how much would you expect to pay for a good quality LARGE
work horse type plane with no frills , but reliable ,
Q 2
What is the range of weight a big plane can carry over a long distance
of several thousand km , possibly need to be able to make Egypt with
only one stop , but perhaps 2 or 3 stops if need be
Yes I know it will be a lot of money , but thats what i seek to find
out , to see at what stage it may be possible , or not
Assume 100 camels weigh 50 tons , and several thousand km flying range
minimum
possibly double would be better if possible
do you know where I might look online to buy or check prices of such a
plane ??
I assume it would need to pass tests to meet Australian aviation rules
and any licences , but Im a long way from that at this stage , still
checking the viability of the concept
many thanks
