Are there still guys furloughed from Kalitta?
ARRGGHHH !The last of the JT9D classics?I flew it on its first trip. That thing was like brand new. The Japanese really know how to take care of their planes. The rumor is that Connie is going to get 4 more from JAL. When that will happen is anyone's guess. I also heard that we are parking the 3 remaining 100s.

I just dropped a 72 off in OSC and couldn't believe the amount of classics parked up there, even a -300 for parts, I guess I hadn't been up there in a couple years. I think 705 was even up there, which if I recall was the first nose loader he bought back in about 01-02? I guess that's their future right now, basking in the northern Michigan sunshine.
No lie ! you flying for K2 ? I'm an old Champion DTW 72 guy meself !

I flew 705 on its last revenue flight a year ago. The aft pressure bulkhead was timed out. Apparently JAL used 705 as a training aircraft so it has lots of cycles. Connie tried to replace some pressure bulkheads but I heard Boeing said 'Hell no!'
