DOUG KALITTA FLYING HIGH WITH KALITTAAIR.COM/CAREERS THEME ON DRAGSTER | Competition Plus

There's nothing finer than promoting the home team. However, for Kalitta Motorsports, Topeka, Kansas, is a substantial haul to the team's base camp in Ypsilanti, Michigan. However, with ten wins credited to the team, the best option for promoting their in-house business is at Heartland Park -...

very cool. i believe they are now operating (5) 777-300ers......converted passenger to cargo.....dragster livery should follow onto rear wing spill plates.
think this is 3rd race without mac tools as primary? autodesk and mobil1/toyota took center stage earlier this year.

Great idea!
Tony Schumacher was able to deliver a great number of applicants for the Army.
Similarly, R&L Carriers is getting some good exposure with "that new guy" and, I think Werner's original tie in with Clay Millican was for recruiting.
With the real war for talent NHRA has a lot to offer a partner.

I would imagine that the reason for the new wrap is that McConnell AFB is just down the road from Topeka. Connie likes
to hire former military for his air services.

Just for the record the planes are not converted. They are purpose built 777 freight haulers

if i'm reading articles correctly, you are correct, they operate five 777-200F, the purpose built freighter. the 777-300ERSF (kalitta will be launch customer)
is a converted fuselage; a longer version of the 200 that is at this time not purpose built by boeing. the attached pic in earlier post is a 777F

Kalitta to be launch operator of 777-300ERSF converted freighter

Kalitta Air will be the first airline to operate the Boeing 777-300ERSF, a converted freighter being developed by lessor GECAS and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).

Some of the freight aircraft are really big. I like to plane watch in the morning at Sky Harbor before I start my shift. You can physically see the difference when one of them takes off, as compared to the planes flown by the airlines. If anyone wants to "plane spot" at Sky Harbor, park in Terminal 4 garage & go to 9th floor. That is the roof parking and you can see the North runway (mostly American Airlines) and South Runway, mostly Southwest. Other airlines land & take off on both runways. I like South best cuz there are 2 runways. Go to www.skyharbor.com for flight info and airport info. I don't see a lot of Kalittta, but do see DHl and Fed Ex, UPS, etc.

Allegiant Air flys out of Sky Harbor Terminal 3. Not a lot of flights. They are a discount airline.

I've flown Allegiant many times. Yes, discount airlines with limited schedules but the experience has always been good.
