[Music]
there's a special freighter just
arriving now late from China
what a cool paint scheme I'm gonna check
out the National air 747 BCF as you can
see national 747 cargo plane has just
arrived at Los Angeles here bringing
urgent medical supplies from China to
the US this is in fact a FEMA Charter
bringing all these critical medical
supply I'm just coming in take a look
here look at all this
there's a switch in every position so
the cargo loader can push the switch and
then the cargo rolled down all the way
towards the door so it's a little bit
like a puzzle one piece by one piece
they're going out
and now I'm gonna check out the after
deck on this VCF where the cockpits and
caresses hello company
hey Sam Johnny Devlin national airlines
welcome aboard your play we just flew it
in from Anchorage this is uh basically
where are we carry two mechanics and a
loadmaster and two extra pilots so we
want heavy crew usually so it's two
captains to first officers stop
really really roomy stretch upper deck
here for those people who enjoy flying
to 400 you'll remember this is where the
middle exit door an upper deck and then
there's more seats at the back well the
BCF they just sued off here except
maintenance can go inside yeah I don't
see what's inside there hey captain
what's up change side behind this door
nothing in here nothing inside
maintenance only yeah oh there's nothing
really seriously yeah yeah it's true
this is the galley area we have a full
kitchen
obviously an operation like this takes a
lot of food
water
that self-explanatory
up here we have the cockpit this is
where we do our business this is flight
originated in Wuhan China
we went through Anchorage to here to Los
Angeles and on today's flight we carried
fifty three thousand two hundred and
seventy kilos of medical supplies I'm
gonna do a walk-through so if you want
come on follow me
it looks like quarter past 7:00 in the
morning everything slowly here 755
everything's out already that is so
pretty efficient this is the main deck
where all the cargo gets loaded
obviously you see it's pretty big so
that's the difference between the BC
advocates or the normal pure freighter
of factory freighter you don't have this
stretch bubble here you have to feel a
lower contouring on the cargo yes yes we
do
on the main deck we have 30 positions
the forward lower hold is 5 positions
than the rear here is 4 before and after
every flight we do at most play to
complete walk around we want to make
sure the airplane is in tip-top shape or
check everything
check the inlets tires right now we're
starting the fuel
all 53,000 kilograms of cargo is being
offloaded right behind me these will be
sent to the from live to the hospital
very soon cargo is definitely the new
king during koban 19 so proud to be part
of national airlines and the mission to
deliver critical cargo in the fight
against kovat 19 and that leads me to
invite you to Anchorage to come fly on
our single aisle passenger 7 v 7 which
we're flying critical cargo missions
with good morning 4:00 a.m. and
Anchorage here I'm just about to get on
board a national 7 5 7 behind me just
came on board I was expecting to see
full cargo load on the seats seeing Nats
on the cargo and it seems like nothing
in the beam as well are you the little
master hey nice to meeting you so may I
ask to we're out the cargo right now
it's underneath of us it's in what they
call the bins or the lower deck or the
bellies of the aircraft
I feel of the picture now passenger
plane carrying cargoes but how come this
one doesn't have any cargo on the fleet
Sorina bin it's an excellent question we
do not have authority from the FAA and
the manufacturer to put cargo in the
seats or underneath the nets to secure
it what we do have the authority to do
is use the bins which today the cargo
the dimensions of the packages were too
big to actually fit the same true for
underneath the seats
there's
package is too big to slide underneath
there the lower deck is completely full
of cargo it's 3,700 kilo 504 packages
did you see there's a lot of packing
going on the all these packages are too
tall as you can see
dimensions up I won't allow it to fit in
the overhead bins or under the seats
those are big correct so we work as
packing them in here the folks are just
absolutely wonderful wow that's a lots
of expensive cargo must be it's you know
using a whole 75 to go out of China just
to bring this three thousand kilos of
cargo coming back to the US if you think
about it like this it comes out to maybe
a dollar man
if it's your life depends on that what
is that dollar word hi you guys I'm max
I'm a captain Iran national airline so
just flew from Kansai to Anchorage 700
and 56 million flight been a pretty
smooth flight and we got to see some of
