Western Global MD-11 catches fire in Michigan hangar

[fholbert]

Another weird one.

Three people with serious injuries. Must have been a heck of a fire.

Three people sustained "serious" injuries after a fire ignited on 17 September in the cargo hold of a Boeing MD-11 freighter operated by Western Global Airlines, according to the US Federal Aviation Administration.

The fire occurred on the ground at about 15:50 local time, while the aircraft was undergoing maintenance in a hangar in Oscoda, Michigan, according to the FAA's preliminary report.

I know exactly what I'm doing. Waiting for the damn taco place in downtown CLE to open.

If anybody is ever downtown, check out Barrio.

Who?

A cheapy little ACMI startup with a couple MD11s. I had a friend go there. Daily rate of like 250 or something for FO with no pay increases, no retirement and set up on a contract system like the Asian ops hiring expats in order to make sure no union can take hold. But hey it's a HEAVY!
