I recently purchased a Yellow F-16 RTF from Kentucky> The crate will be 83n long 39wide by 22 tall. What is the best way to ship this??? Who out there has experience shipping a yellow F-16.
Thanks for the help. It will be coming to Orange County..

As the Kapton says, Forward Air is the way. IMHO, it is the best way to ship, unfortunately, you are limited to locations. I have shipped several aircraft and have received even more through FA with zero problems.

Hey there,

I have used FA many times in the past & they are great as mentioned above by George & Kap.Your safest shipping/quickest route is gonna come from air transport,obviously the less time your package is in transit the less likely it is to get messed up.As an alternative I been using Airborne Express for the last year,I have solely been using them in this time period,they will ship either ground or air for you -they will even pickup from your location!!They are very inxpensive/safe & just as quick as FA.The only thing potentially bad about them is that I have noticed that their pricing structure seems to vary alot sometimes on same size packages/crates.I have shipped a few times where a 72''x 38''x 35'' was only 78.00 ground then another time on a relatively same size package which was like 150.00.I have used air shipment with them many times which seems to vary quite a bit as well.I cant tell you why their rates tend to vary so much,but they are cheaper than FA is gonna be & you are not losing any shipping safety by doing so.They are just as quick as FA in delivery time by air &normally like 3-4 days coast to coast for ground. In any event I prefer to use them now personally.Just my opinion [8D]

Steve
