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

Funniest thing I ever flew was World Series hats from Houston to Chicago the night the White Soxs won. Flew some laser guided missle tips for the Navy and a 777 nose gear to Boeing feild.

Dude, we did those hats too. They used both of our falcons for em. That was a lot of hats

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

That is great!
Did the small envelope with the gaskets in it. Mine was from southern MS to a nuclear power plant in northern IL. Makes ya wonder..........
Flew a load of bolts one time that were hot off the machine. I mean that literally. They were still warm from the machining process!

The STRANGEST thing I ever flew with was the Capt. of the Diamond jet at my previous job!LOL I've also carried crates of blasting caps:bomb: , live bees, and a box that said live reptiles inside!

The most annoying thing I ever carried was with an Air Ambulance years ago. It was for the U. S. Marshall Service, escorting a sick prisoner to the federal prison hospital in Springfield MO. This guy had apparently been a fugitive for years, and finally turned himself in when his kidney or liver started to go bad, SO THAT HE COULD GET TREATED GRATIS OF THE U. S. GOVERNMENT! Uncle Sam was obligated to pay for his transplant since he was in government custody. I figured if I couldn't afford to pay for the same treatment, all I needed to do is rob a liquor store, and then I'd be taken care of. How messed up is that?!

Totally messed up. Totally. But probably good to know -- thanks!

Lots of weird stuff. What I probably hated most were the boxes of crickets that I had to fly on a regular basis out of RDU. Not only were they stinky, but there were always a few escapies hopping around the plane. No matter how well the boxes were sealed, those little buggers managed to get out.

Almost forgot this one. We got a charter from Mannassas va to Boston in a Shorts for twenty washers and ten bolts for Amtrack. I guess that was a TOG situation?

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

Me! Ben Roethlisberger's ROTY trophy from CMH-AGC. The station manager in Alleghany took it out of its stainless steel case so I could take a picture of him with it!
