A sad thing for Kalitta, in about 1,5 month loosing its managing director and 2 aircrafts. Luckily the crew each time escaped.
Be sure that this incident might close the European skies for Kalitta or even put European aviation authorities to re-consider if an FAA approved aircraft is reliable or not ?
Airlines can have bad luck as the incident that happened in Brussels 28 may.
Not even 40 days further another one of Kalitta has crashed (again engine problems???) Kalitta has a good standard on maintenance, but airframes are very old, so what to think about ? Or do we simply have to conclude that the -100 and -200 airframes are likely to be scrapped, keeping some for museum purposes.
Even without drastic measures of governments, the best days of the 747-100 and 747-200 are over. Every dollar the barrel of oil raises, lowers the value of the frames, until they will be only of scrap aluminium value.
