Hot-shot cargo flights bypass US-Canada border blockade to deliver auto parts
Small all-cargo carriers have mobilized to get shipments past the supply chain blockage at the U.S.-Canada border. (www.freightwaves.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
There's an auto carrier on fire in the ocean, and they say it could be Lithium batteries. I wonder if it could have been sabotage. Since the cars aboard are luxury cars, someone stands to make a fortune on an insurance claim.

Back we go to the late 80's, early 90's when the check hauling routes were goin' away and anybody with a Lear or old Falcon 20, we had both, was now haulin' car parts. Primarily for GM out of southern border US MX states, and some MX country airports as well. All going to northern tier US and Canadian auto production plants.
I think the supply chain was busted then too, especially for Goobermint Motors. Who cared, it payed $150. a trip for an FO and $250. for a Captain. Lots of fun at 450' in a Lear and not so much in a DA20 at 390' in the spring! And virtually all in the Dark. Cheers!

Fuel was cheap, time was money and keeping a close eye on the needle around M.81 was fun. So was watching some of the yank & bank grandpa types squirm when they got close to M.78. We even made up a poor man’s r-nav…..pinch & fold the map dep to dest, measure dist from vor’s to the fold and ask for direct. Fun, wow.
Yep, Collins FD-108Y, AVQ-46 radar that was blind in a storm and ARNAV-40 lorans that got lost at the first sign of P-static, a strange version of FUN!
Climb at .80, cruise at .80 and descend at .80, easy to remember. Cheers
