While Kalitta does do a significant amount of military flying with the 747-200 fleet the 744's are a little more diversified. DHL, oil companies, ad hoc flying and of course some military flying. Even after the draw down in the Middle East there will still be some US military business. The US military has for decades chosen to use civilian lift to cover portions of their flying regardless of war or peace. Kalitta's balance sheet should allow it to make the transition back to a more normal, non-wartime, flying allotment.
