Cargo leader's son killed

According to this story, the son of Connie Kalitta was killed in a racing car accident.

Connie is the owner of cargo carrier Kalitta Air, a Boeing 747F operator. He also was a race car driver before retiring but continues to own a race car team.

Connie is well known in aviation circles. His Kalitta Air recently lost a 747-200F after the pilot aborted the take off following a bird strike or two that generated a compressor stall. There were no fatalities in that accident. Kalitta Air had 18 747s prior to the accident.

We’ve casually known Connie for years and express our thoughts to him and his family.
