Is there anything that UPS/FedEx WON'T put on their planes?? Certain hazmats, live animals, competitor's packages?
What's the weirdest thing you ever hauled?

weirdest thing I ever had on a plane was two live monkeys. They were being transported to a different zoo. They drugged them up so they wouldn't go crazy.

Did you put the auto pilot on and go back there and get some wild monkey sex? I hear that's the greatest.

FN FAL, swinging for the fence, as usual.

The weirdest thing I ever hauled was a "Load" of horse semen right around the KY Derby. :nuts:
 
A serious answer?

Don't haul dead passengers either. You have to ship X-Aunt-Mabel home on a pax-bird.

Also won't carry poisonous gas.

Weirdest thing? Well, there was this Captain once, but technically he was hauling me. Lots of horses and a monkey or two... but would have to say the most unusual was orphaned cougars from the Seattle area to the Memphis zoo.

A live Polar bear, on loan from the PHX zoo to the Brisbane zoo. They picked him up in Sydney in a refrigerated truck.. No S*%!

That's pretty cool. Did he have a refrigerated case in the back?? Was he drugged. Polar Bears are some of the most interesting animals.
 
Sometime in the 90's I carried the Clintons staff and press corps around for a few days. Phew!!!!!!!!! It stunk!:laugh:
 
I don't know if he was drugged or not looked pretty awake and mad to me... We had a handler with us plus we kept the main deck cargo cold for his comfort...

I'm sure they wouldn't fly a wide-body cargo plane full of rubber dog $hit out of Hong Kong!.............:laugh:
