Seems most of the interesting people you would want to talk to would probably want to keep their stories quiet anyway. All the interesting stuff was a long time ago when 707's and 8's ruled the skies when people like 'Sport' paying us well to do daft things in daft places. If you want to follow a cargo operation today all you will end up with is little cardboard boxes that say 'Made in China' or flowers and veg into Europe. I'm sure there are people out there who could tell you how exciting it was to haul tin boxes around on the Airbus at night, every night (FDD) but the old days have gone forever when we would tramp around the world on a 4 engined screamer, begging oil and food as we went and waking up with murderous hangovers in some far off place trying to remember where we had parked the bird and how much of it would have been stolen overnight.
Besides, it has been done once already, try tracking down an old video which was shown quite a few times on the Discovery Channel, 'Skytruckers' I think it was called, there has been some mention of it on this site in the past, Cargo Lion was the star (RIP).
Another lead would be thro the Queens guest at HMP, knock an the door and as for CBJ
