I do hope this was a free shuttle flight that Volga used as a marketing exercise…..& not a $100k + charter to move $200k worth of trucks?!?
Why not fly the crew, & just put the trucks on a couple of flatbeds with 2 x drivers each = a 2 day drive. Doesn’t look like those trucks are specialized units.
