Ferrari Shipping on the Cheap

It seems that a member of the U.S. Air Force stationed at an international airport in Kyrgyzstan, caught a glimpse of some rather unsavory exotic car shipping practices that he felt compelled to share with the readers of the My350Z forums.

It seems that someone was looking to save a little coin by shipping their Ferrari F430 out of country via a small Russian aircraft called an AN12. The airman photographer tells us that the AN12s are the aircraft of choice for budget shipping—used primarily for hauling food and “small items”—as the plane doesn’t really have a sophisticated system of holding its cargo down. Not the way we’d want to move our Ferrari, to say the least. The photographs already paint a rather ugly picture of a few men trying to get the F430 onboard, including a shot showing the car taking a pretty serious digger into the makeshift ramp. Happy trails.
