(Connie) Kalitta has a lifetime of experience in the airline industry that goes back to 1967 when he began transporting parts for the automotive business with a twin engine Cessna 310 that he piloted himself. Over the years, Kalitta grew from a one-airplane operation into a substantial airline conglomerate, American International Airways, Inc. (AIA), that used B747, L1011, DC8, B727, Twin Beech and Learjet aircraft in worldwide airfreight, air ambulance and charter passenger operations. AIA supported the Desert Shield/Desert Storm operations with award winning efforts. AIA was one of the world's 25 largest airlines with revenues in excess of $400 million derived from both scheduled and on-demand air charters as well as third party engine and airframe maintenance service.

It was transporting mail and perishable food to the Guántanamo Bay Naval Base as per AIA's contract with the US Navy.[3]

88 tons?

Finally, we ALL can call that a cache.

If I had a pallet like that at my house, I would put my mattress on top and sleep like a baby.

I dunno... 88 tons of ammo doesn't seem like all that much...What's a pallet weigh? In my biz, they're roughly 1 ton. and I'd imagine ammo is about twice as heavy. 44-88 Pallets of ammo sounds like "go away" gift.

Exactly. Its only like 4 truckloads.

One of those pallet loads looks just about the same as what I have stacked in my basement.

During the 1973 Yom Kippur war: “8,755 tons of aid arrived before the end of the war. American C-141 Starlifter and C-5 Galaxy aircraft flew 567 missions throughout the airlift.”

How much do we have left in Germany? What about the recent outpost in Poland? We can drive….
