I have known Connie Kalitta for over 40 years.
He has been flying cargo for all of those years and more.
If this “company” has only been formed since 2000, then it is a current incarnation of the original company.
He has been flying cargo and hunters and fishermen for years.
He runs drag racing cars, and was the owner who gave Shirley “Cha Cha” Muldowney her ride in Top Fuel that vaulted her to national prominence.
Connie is a VERY careful pilot, and his company has a very good record for the number of years he has been flying.
Rent the movie “Heart Like A Wheel” for the Hollywood version of Shirley’s racing story.
When Shirley crashed very badly in Canada, Connie flew her to Indianapolis so she could be under the care of Dr Terry Trammel, who glues Indy 500 drivers back together. If you every have a serious accident involving many bones, that is the Doc you want patching you up.
Didn't he fly L1011 before?
