A flight case (24) for shipping and supporting an audio mixing console (26), having a main platform frame (28) that includes a pair of collapsible legs (30) each with reversible swivel casters (36) and a plurality of upright sockets having gas springs (48). When the flight case (24) is positioned on its side for transportation the casters (36) face outward; when positioned horizontally the casters (36) are rotated downward for resting on a hard surface. A sub frame (50) is located inside the frame (28) and is configured to receive the audio mixing console (26). A removable top (54), with side casters (56) and locking mechanisms (58) is placed over the frame (50). When the locking mechanisms are rotated, the frame (50) and the top (54) are elevated by the gas springs (48), permitting the top (54) to be removed leaving the frame (50) for supporting the audio mixing console (26) exposed ready for use. The frame (50) is then pulled outward forming a shelf creating room for a sound engineers legs.
