SNS3Guppy,
WHoa and slow down. I mentioned that I am neither pro or con Kalitta
and not ruffling any feathers. I just provided an official link to topics
previously discussed in this thread so that people could see the official
cause, not personal opinions of these incidents. People are free to draw
there own conclusions. I am not forcing them to think one way or another.
As far as the incident in Japan involving the same aircraft that recently
crashed. There is probably no corelation at all, I and repeat I thought it
was interesting that the same aircraft had been involved in an incident
previously that required a report to be filed with the NTSB.
Yes there is a 10 year period between incidents, but no matter what the
company name, Kalitta Flying Services, AIA, Kalitta Air etc they are in
fact owned by the same person! In this day and age, for a fleet as
large as they own, 10years without an incident is a tribute to their
practices.
Now in reference to the above stated post that, first #4, then #1, #2
and #3 (partially) failed with #4 restarted before the landing would that
not suggest some type of contamination, be it fuel, birds, or volcanic
ash or whatever. Looks to me the crew did a remarkable job putting it
down where they did with minimum amount of ground catastrophy prevented.
Condolences to the deceased included.
