[QUOTE="sdf6hr2, post: 436690, member: 18356"] i don't really want to get in an argument about this, and we are way off the Calender 2009 subject, but quickly explain how there are no more than 300 cans there (driving by you can tell this brick(what we call an organized grouping of cans) is stacked at least 5 deep) and, $3000 per can is about one third of price i have been told they cost. i have read that ups has $170 million in air containers. if this is true and, this is only 1% of ups air cans that is $1.7 million. plus, the majority of these cans we can see from the road are the largest we fly: "AFA's". they tare in at 980-1005 lbs. the vast majority of this weight is Al. these things probably would have a decent salvage value. and, since AFA's can only fly on 747s and center loaded in 767s, why did ups buy so many? how many 747s would have to be in the fleet to make this many cans reasonable? and if you had that many 747s, where would we park them. the ramps at sdf are already bursting at the seems... anyway, i haven't seen the calender yet.
