Question For Kalitta Pilots

[81Horse]

You refer to this like it is common knowledge. And you are correct, I do not know the in's and out's of connies bio. This mere mortal is now enlightened.

Sorry, Johnny ... didn't mean to hit you upside the haid with it. There's no reason a younger pilot would know.

Like I said, I'm feelin' old!

The real reason for his eyes being the way they are....

Once upon a time ( back in the 80's) while Connie was making a 300MPH run in his Dragster, his helmet came loose and fell off just as one of his DC-8's was doing a low pass over the dragstrip ( against Connies wishes) and so Connie , keeping one eye on the track (smart thing at that speed) and the other on his airplane and with a 300+ mile an hour force of wind on his face, well you can just imagine what would happen to anyones eyes.:erm:
