They aren't doing too well! Is it maintenance, training, or both?

What a terrible summer for the Kalitta family.

Connie Kalitta's son Scott died two weeks ago in during the qualifying
rounds of an NHRA race.

Probably both. They're basically pirates. some good guys involved in the
place, but the way Connie sets the tone is just appalling. I met him when
he had a bunch of leaky Queen Airs and was flying a Lear single pilot with
no type rating... I can't imagine he's changed much.
