[MilCom] Kalitta Flights

[Ken]

Thanks for the information Mark  -- it's VERY sad to see the number of 
flights now taking off from KDOV daily with our deceased military heroes!!!

As a side note, we still haven't seen award of a contract to replace this 
temporary contract.  If I remember correctly, the new contractor will need a 
larger plane so that the ceremonial team & escort officer/nco can fly on the 
same aircraft.  At this point there's a lot of coordination that has to take 
place since I think the ceremonial/escort officer/nco has to be on the 
ground at the airport when the deceased military member's flight arrives.
