Odd ball haul. Very small, weird, or just worth talking about.

[LowlyPropCapt]

12 Black Mamba snakes from MIA to TPA in the back of a DHC-8. Originated in Entebe, Uganda according to the label.

The baggage tossers were rather careful with these boxes.

 

[HAZ-MAT]

A dogs tumor from his left leg. The dogs name was Jake. Out of New Orleans I always had two boxes that had Hepetitis C inside.
Boxes and boxes of paper clips... A small box about the size of a shoebox weighed close to 15 pounds when it was full of paper clips. It blew my mind!

Dam, and I thought mine was a little strange! You guys win, lol.

 

[NoPax]

caravanman wins so far with his giant killer bunny rabbits

I fly 350# frozen fish every thursday...sometimes its leaking through the box

Also, locks, and keys - boxes are about 5" cubed and weigh about 25#

Before last Christmas, I had about 12 boxes of singing toys (possibly Elmo)...so I'd push over, and pull back hard, and they'd start singing! - things you do when you're bored

Flew 2000 lbs of bread crumbs from Memphis to somewhere in NC for Nestle once. Smelled kinda yummy.

Somewhere I've started to compile a list of all the crap I've flown, but I can't find it.

Off the top of my head:

-Radioactive gas
-Flowers
-Blood
-A whole plane full of radios and electronics for hurricane Katrina relief
-Also tetanus vaccines for Katrina
-Fish and lobsters
-Live ladybugs
-$hit tons of auto parts, some boat parts, helo. parts
-Harley parts
-Some big ass part for a train (I think)
-2500 lbs. of mirrors once- about 1,800 years worth of even worse luck if they all broke.
-A supposedly very expensive robotic arm
-Video games
-A few very small boxes, envelopes, etc.

Thats all I can come up with for now... nothing as ususual as some of you though!

On my list I've got:

* A box going to CDC in Atlanta that was labeled "fungus of unknown origin"

* Several crates full of pee

* Box full of live lab mice (which aren't considered animals for cargo purposes ???? )

* A learjet full of Madden 2005

* A learjet full of GTA:SA

* 6 film reel canisters for the theatrical release of "white chicks"

* A left kidney, and my buddy flying a different route out of the same base had a right kidney. Wonder if they were the same person

* During the NBA finals of 2005, I had a caravan full of boxes with NBA champion Tshirts and hats for the team that ended up losing (the game was the next night)

* The NFL Rookie of the year trophy (I didn't carry that one, a buddy of mine did. he has pictures to prove it)

Coming out of Guyana, we had some sloths, and some cat-sized animals that I think were capybaras. They smelled awful.

One time we carried the gravestone of VC Bird, presient of Antigua and the guy the airport is named after.

those werent capybaras, they were EL CHUPACABRA!!!!!!!

 

[Way2Broke]

I know someone that when they where carrying bank checks would get boxes of dum-dums (lolli-pops). Its funny how when she was snacky some of them happened to fall out. Also, same friend, carried a pair of large golden scissors. You know, the kind that they use when cutting the tape to open a new bank branch. And sure enough, the next day back they went.

Some different freight I've carried includes a live baby seal, a dead dog in a box, 1,000 pounds of eggs on what was the most turbulent day of the season for a five-mile flight, my plane's own aileron, and tons and tons of fish.

 

[KingDriver]

How about 14000 live baby chickens from Miami to Marsh Harbour in a Caravan. Those things slept the whole way there but, woke up as the sun was coming up. I've never been in an airplane that was that loud and probably never will.
