We go there every day. It's a fuel stop halfway between Hong kong and Anchorage.

Captain: Where are we going again?

SO: UHHH...

Captain: You don't know either? Damn.

Sounds like a lot of real cool places for the Kalitta guys! Any other point in Russia you visit? Do you do a crew swap in Khabarovsk?

That is the cleanest Connie airplane I have ever seen.

Starting as a JAL aircraft, it may take another year of hard use to bring it down to Kalitta standards!

That is one of our newest airplanes this year. It was definately cool to fly that one around and show it off. For the most part, our "Ride-on" mechanics do a very good job of keeping the airplanes flying. They normally do not sit for very long, so these guys bust their a&% turning them around in a two hour tech stop.

UHHH is just a fuel stop.....no scheduled layover. We have had crews breakdown there and they said it was a fun stay!

Our other newest airplane.

Actually, there is this great bar there, where crews drink for free.

I was in UHHH about 10 hours ago. Man what a beautiful day. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and it was somewhat warm! It would have been a great day to 'break' in UHHH.
