Caesare, you need to get your information right about the aircraft...706BL was 623US and that aircraft was flown as passenger aircraft for NWA until it was retired in 2009...it was never freighter for NWA or Connie. Also 706BL just went through a Either a C4 or D check and essentially tearing the plane apart and putting it back together...old yes 1979-1980, but with a heavy check it should be a good working order...Connie keeps his B747-200's flying so why can't Baltia...Its always a "technical" issue with this company...wonder how they plan to maintain a schedule with constant "technical issues"...GLTA
