Saudi Relief Plane Leaves for Pakistan
2005-11-01
In line with the airlift program ordered by the Custodian of the two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz to assist victims of the earthquake which recently hit Pakistan, a plane carrying medical supplies left for Islamabad on Sunday. Othman Al-Ghuweiri, the Director of follow-up, support and coordination at the Saudi relief team, said the plane was carrying 12 ton of medical supplies.
Wow! Wotta response! So quick we could barely follow it. It's been only... ummm... 23 days.

That shop was flattened in the earthquake. Probably not much left to loot.

And the other 112 tons of capacity? I dunno, but I'd bet the starving people would even eat hummus and schwarmas, Kingy Thingy. Ummm, BTW, whatcha gonna load it up with for the return flight? Nuke stuff and PakiWaki engineers? Just wondering...

#2  took 23 days to deliver 12 tons of medical supplies.

A 747-400 Freighter can carry 124 tons (113,000 kg) of cargo up to 4,450 nautical miles (8,240 km). More than 90 747-400 Freighters are in service worldwide today, operated by the leading air cargo companies.

The princes probably bring in 12 tons of Viagra every month.
