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.

Exactly what I was thinking, awful.

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.
