Kalitta's B747 N744CK masks up

Following in the footsteps of Cargolux and Garuda, Kalitta's Boeing B747-400BCF N744CK (26353) now wears a protective face mask as well. The aircraft received it during maintenance at Oscoda (MI) and is back in service since 21 February.

N744CK is a -446BCF and is part of the fleet of Kalitta since 2010. The experts already derived from the customer code that this Jumbo was originally a Japan Airlines-aircraft. It flew with them as JA8909, first as a passenger-jet and between 2006 and 2010 as a cargo-jet. The Jumbo is part of Kalitta's 24-strong B747-fleet, which also features nine B767-300BDSFs and four B777Fs.
