Denver98 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Kalitta Air can hold short and burn gas. They are well know for being the worst of the worst air cargo, perhaps worst of all 121/131 jet airlines, on the planet. Looks like they had a good time flying into MCO.

I used to fly for Atlas and they were not much better..... Its funny my plane was built before any 747 was built and will be flying way after the last 747 is built..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a nice panel... Being based at KPAE (home of all Boeing's wide bodies), it is not unusual to have one of test airplanes waiting for you to land when on final for long runways. Granted, 747-8s are somewhat rare sight (built rate is 6 per year) but you can see these LCFs quite often bringing sections of 787. Picture was taken when I was holding short in my car. And then, now and then On occasion we have Volga-Dnepr An-124 bringing oversize cargo to the plant... Sometimes they would just park on Taxiway Alpha but not anymore since we have commercial service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually we had unusual spell of three weeks of sun until week ago. Normally? Well, let's just say I never had a problem of staying IFR current around here...
