Was it just doing a BOG turn from Miami? Or did it come from some where else down there? Just trying to figure out why you would need a double crew for that.

yea dude, they went MIA-VCP-BOG-MIA.

it was a heavy actually sorry. (1 FO)

Why don't we all just focus on what we can do for those involved in this tragedy, and let the investigators complete their investigation.

Has anyone been able to confirm that all 8 survived? I just heard from a buddy that 3 crew members did perish, but I consider this unconfirmed because I got the info second hand.

Best of luck to the crew. In the meantime, the FAA should investigate the entire Kalitta organization. Two lives lost, several serious injuries and the lost of two B747s should warrant some serious inquiry

I have been saying that for ages. Scavengers have no place in aviation business. Sooner or later it shows. Maybe now FAA will take a closer look to Connie's business. Terrorizing your employees, using used parts made new through your own aviation parts company, using old planes is not a fair way to do business. I know many of Kalitta's little pupies bailed out jail by Connie and with no other place to go will jump barking at me but "c'est la vie".
Two planes this year is kind of too much

Two whales in the dirt, several injuries and now loss of precious life. Doesn't take employment at Kalitta to come to the realization that things aren't completely safe!!!!

How many crashes has FedEx had in recent years?

I have known Joe Kendall for 28 years and he is indeed a good Engineer..Was out of flying for a while,but returned to be a Check Airman on the 74.
My prayers are with his wife and kids..By the way,if any one can beat the odds, it'll be Joe...Keeping my fingers crossed....

How many crashes has FedEx had in recent years

?

How many aircrafts Fedex has? How huge of an operation they run? If they would crash an airplane per year it will still be way bellow 1%, but Kalitta's 2 crashes out of 20 airplanes is 10% of fleet(although they have less airplanes). Statistic Fedex( I'm not sure but they must have few hundred airplanes) should have higher risk for crashes than an operation of 20 airplanes.

Heavy crew=8 crewmembers? what is up with that?
