Lay's Potato Chips

Years ago flew a bulked out (read potato chips everywhere) Connie from Mia to Sju. Think the chips weighed about 5000lbs. We ate well

I remember flying a 757 radome from Luton to Sweden in a Belfast! The LM [B][U]carried [U][B] it onto the aeroplane! That was it; £10,000 in the bank for old HLA!

Organ transports in the Lear 25. Cant really be compared to flying 74's with one pax or flying 21 kgs in the A 300 but it was amusing to us.
Hugging the runway to xxx kts and then 0 up thru 14000 ft in around 45 seconds.

Flew twice across the Continental USA to pick up 3 bolts in LAX and bling them to Miami. I just put them in the pocket of my pants..

Also did the empty 747 a few times.. completely empty with any paying freight/Passengers.

least freight

Ok, not a real flying story but when I drove truck for a carrier contracted to General Motors, we were asked to haul loads weighing 100-500lbs- somtimes even less- on trips up to 500 mi. long in trucks designed for a 20,000 payload. This happened almost every other day, and yet the job paid better than average for a driving job.
Cheaper than flying and door-to-door, almost as fast I guess.

Least Freight

Back in the lat 70s, I flew a box that was probably 10" cubed on a C141 from Charleston, South Carolina to Biluxi, Mississippi. The box contained a gyro for a sister "Marietta Hunchback" that was broken in Biluxi. When we got back to Charleston and checked in with the Command post, we were told the replacement gyro we'd delivered was deffective. Yup, we took another trip to Biluxi with another 10" box. BTW, our callsign was "ASHOE"! ATC had fun with that one.
