Had somebody gate check a stick.

About 2 feet long, not straight or anything, and a little rounded on the ends...what a waste of 30 lbs on a weight restricted flight.

MKE to MSN and someone leaves a dead eel in the cabin.

Was it possibly a Lamprey? (Maybe it was a fisherman who got it from L. Michigan....) Those suckers are mean-looking, no pun intended.

I had a lot of eyeballs, and an unreal amount of HIV-tainted blood on the DFW-SAN legs.

Crates of F-1 cars loaded in a cargo 747, a live gorilla, dead people, lots of organs, and I've got to say, a lot of very obese people on stretchers getting unloaded from lifegaurd flights FBO side.

I have seen snakes, ferrets, all kinds of fish, a transmission going to Salvador, stereo's, tv's, radio's, a clear plastic bag use for luggage. People returning home to SAL, MEX, GUA, and other Mexican and South American countries buy all they can here and the want to check it as luggage. Usually its extra large duffle bags with green cargo style netting around it.

Once shipped several medical boxes to RDU. The airway bill and notac said HIV blood viles. We put them in the small bin 1 of the 757 and when I gave the notac to Capt he looked at me like I was crazy for putting them there. That was the safest place I told him. Right under his seat.

One night two guys tried to carry on two dead turkey's they'd shot only a few hours earlier while hunting. They were packed in a couple wal-mart bags....no joke. These guys were decked out in their camo and orange hats, only on southwest.

my cousin works for UPS and he says they get lots of scientific disected animals in large fish tanks filled with some weird formaldheyde like liquid...calfs(baby cow), aligator, all kinds. guess these things break all the time and he's the guy who has to clean it up (biohazard or something), pretty nast stuff

Were you here in Kentucky perhaps? Sounds like somthing people around here might do.

Bees, dead bodies, tropical fish, car parts.

On a side noted, worked on a plane where there was a rack for spears installed in the cockpit (or maybe it was the cabin). Guess some of the native tribesmen travelled armed.

In college I flew night freight and flew bodies several times for the Office of Medical Investigator.....just me, a Cessna 206 and 3 black bags in the back one night....all same family

I flew a liver up to Teterboro last night. Fairly normal occurence for us though, to fly various bodyparts, as we're an air ambulance company.
