jetcal1 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Why would a flight to Miami have 8 crew members? That sounds like about 5 extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizzard Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Just a side question, this is the same Kalitta family of drag-racing fame, is it not??? Connie was the patriarch i think, and had a lot to do with Shirley Muldowney\'s success int he 60\'s and 70\'s. really datin\' myself now,huh:laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Herk Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Yes it is the same Connie Kalittle... ...they just lost their son, Scott, a couple weeks back in a drag racing accident in NJ. Been a rough year for Kalitta... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC10FE Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 jetcal1, When I did those flower flights from MIA to BOG with Gemini Air Cargo on the DC-10, we usually carried a mechanic & a loadmaster. The other 3 may have been a deadheading crew or some reps from whoever leased the airplane. Don R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetcal1 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Works for me. Thanks for taking the time to answer. I forgot about the in-flight tech and load master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
