    The runways at that time in Roch where pretty short.Reverse's use was common place. Kalitta's planes where DC8 mainly.As a OPS agent one responsibility was to be in-charge of ramp operations.I was very aware of duty times for the crews because Roch was often a fly threw city where Roch shared a airplane with a terminating city.The turn times and any delays where charged back to the Roch station.$15,000 for any delay and was rated that way for each 15 minutes.I gained a real sense for time because of that.

    I do think that learned sense of time made me a better bracket racer.
