Overview.
Kalitta Charters LLC is a private jet charter operator based in Ypsilanti, MI with a home base at KYIP. The Bravo register tracks 31 aircraft in Kalitta Charters LLC's network, from FAA registry and public flight data. Operators fly under their own FAA Part 135 certificate and carry direct operational control of every flight.
In their words
Since 1967, the Kalitta family name has been associated with excellence in the air transport of critical cargo. The experience acquired in nearly five decades of cargo operations, along with recurrent training requirements for flight operations (dispatch) personnel ensure that Kalitta Charters is the most highly experienced non-scheduled cargo air charter operator in the world.
This is why, on the night of September 11, 2001, when all commercial airspace over the U.S. was closed, the only commercial aircraft aloft had the name Kalitta painted on its side. Out of all commercial air carriers, Kalitta was chosen to fly a planeload of medical supplies and whole blood products from Los Angeles to New York for the relief and life-saving efforts at Ground Zero.

Middle of the night, met the plane to deliver freight they were forwarding elsewhere. The crew on the ground were efficient and fast. The pilot, Ryan Wetzel, and his talented partner, a young lady, were very adept at handling/strapping down for flight, a heavy load. Nice team on the ground and in the air!

Its family. We go through all the family emotions, and I still love being there. Besides, my real family doesn't pay me. LOL
