BTW.....My contact in Michigan....the gal who orders parts....said there would be a slight delay. Seems that even though HQ has pre-paid for all the parts, some were a little delayed, so 6/12 is moving to 6/16 (like 4 days.....not really so bad).

And she truly said it had nothing to do with Baltia at all....and that Baltia has been on top of the repairs all along. Seems Baltia has been spending our money in the right places and staying on top of the invoices. I think the maintenance crew over there really appreciates that.

So N706BL might come out of the hangar for a day or two as Kalitta keeps his people busy with other planes and other repairs, but then when the parts arrive she goes right back in and comes out on 6/16............with engines mounted!

Let's keep this here....not on the other board. I kind of want to watch Orvie and see what he reports. I kind of think my contact carries a lot more weight than his..................

And damn.....if she does come out on the 16th with engines mounted, I want to see how that other board responds to the news.........
