I was sure it wouldn't go. There was a cut out on the second pallet for the bumper. When it went as far as it would go, they loosened the straps, got it bouncing and shoved sideways while the end was airborne. I just kept hoping the crew downline knew how to unload it.

We unloaded a Toyota Tacoma one night from an MD-11. Biggest single item I ever unloaded was an entire MD-11 engine from and MD-11. 18,000 lbs of love, took about 20 folks to push the motor up the A/C, rotate 90 degress, and then push engine out. There were just a few inches of clearance between the bottom of the engine and the top of the door. The pallet it sat on took up 4 positions on the airplane . . .

Tightest/heaviest freight item I ever had was a CSD for a CRJ, put in the back of a C310! Had to split the box in half, put the bottom half in the plane and lift that thing by hand. Ok, so no pallets etc... but it was heavy and tight for my bird!
