An innocent, yet poor choice of words.

Totally agree , a legend
Enough said , but hang on what about CBJ , or is he still in HMP

I heard there was a Heli logger show coming out.

Im Flattered!!

G:D

Let's face it CARGO LION was a bit of a joke of an airline, certainly nowhere near the standard and experience of good old AFFRETAIR or MK for that matter....?!

"Sport a legend?" In his own tea cup, maybe. He had a reputation alright, don't worry about that. Parts of it were pretty unsavory, with a fare dollop of short man of mixed race syndrome thrown in.

Don't always believe what you hear. Have you worked with him by the way? No, didn't so.

CBJ? Hopefully he is still where he belongs as a guest of HMP. A fitting end for a "legend".

Cargolion were a very good cargo outfit, were registered with an AOC in Europe. I don't believe they killed anyone directly either. Cargolion a joke? I don't think so.

Sorry , no never worked with Sport just heard the stories , i stand corrected .

But flew with CBJ a few times ex Harare -Ams -Lgw on Affretair 707 operated by 5B-DAZ i think leased by Avistar

What about our old friends from 'Koda' and the B707 @ SEN holed up at an HMP, am I right in thinking they may soon be able to come out on license. They could do with some monies and I am sure it would make for an interesting story.

Sorry CBJ & PK are no friends of anybody with a ounce of sense.
Drug smuggling and it's associated misery it brings to families is not
to be glamorised.
They should stay in prison until their last breath.

Koda
 

The Koda 707 was flown out of Sharjah 2 years ago to Istanbul where it mysteriously caught fire after loading. The Nigerian captain and his crew were last seen making a run for the hills when it became known the aircraft had no valid registration/AOC/insurance.

Now, why does that not surprise me in any way shape or form.:}



About the 2 jail birds, they got caught, others did not.

Stuff of legends really....:suspect:

British Dogs Abroad
 

Dear Dogs!

We're still trying to get a documentary going on Freight Dogs. We're looking for Brits in the States. We're looking for the more colourful companies with the fruitiest reputations.

Are there any Brits out there working for American flyers?
Particulalry in Miami.

Do you have any America buddies you'd like to have an excuse to visit?

Do you or have you frequented Bryson's Irish pud Miami Int Airport adjacent?

Any more help you guys can give would be great!
We really think this would make great telly!

Cheers,

Producer

Ahhh, Bryson's.............

You should have enquired 20 years ago! Air Atlantique in the 80s & 90s flying heavy props out of CVT to various destinations. I did my DC6 course in Miami with Trans Air Link & their DC6 simulator! Visited Bryson's many times with its colourful characters. They wouldn't speak to us brits first as our CP made us wear ties, thought we were Jet jocks!:{

Cargo Lion
 

An excellent outfit, while it lasted.
Good old DC 8 60 series aircraft in pretty good
condition. Those were the last of the "good old
days". Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
PS Sport Martin was also with Ace Freighters,
which makes him pretty old now I guess.:)

DC8
 

Depending on your point of view, I consider myself pretty fortunate to be trucking around in a DC8 much like the old days. Sadly I dont think it will last too many more years, fuel burn, noise regs, yet we get many interested people turning up to visit on the ramp, ( not all CAA, I might add)

Cheers

I hear that the Captain is enjoying his retirement in Thailand - I only hope he is writing his memoirs before they disappear into the ozone layer (what is left of it..)
A beer for your best Sport anecdote?

Thailand? Best place for him I think.:ok:
