plane to carry bikes?

is big enough.

Yeoch!!
FIVE Goldwings?

Boy was I off.
I was thinking of a bike and a babe....

Hey, no need to get fancy. The question was about carrying bikes. No
one said anything about getting them out of the airplane.

If there is access to a door the big cabin on that plane could probably
accomodate a folding aluminum ramp or something similar.

I looked up the specs. It will carry over 5000 pounds! 5(800) and 5 (200)
riders should fit.
