We do do military Cargo Charter flying. Out of WRI to RAM to Kuwait back to RAM then to DOV. That started in nov. I think. I did the first trip with the ANC chief pilot. From him, not that it is worth anything, he expected ANC to close by the end of 09 and the -200 to be done sometime in 10. They are making about 500,000 bucks per charter. That number includes DOD paid fuel.
