What is "hot cargo"? I see this all the time on taxiway diagrams.
I tried looking on the FAA site and all I found were diagrams. There are sometimes two on a field and they are always in an area well away from other operations.What is "hot cargo"? I see this all the time on taxiway diagrams.
This makes me think they may be carrying explosives or something of volatile nature. It has me pretty curious, now.
The first courier company I was with eleven years ago called a one-hour rush a... "Hotlanta." They even came through on the pager that way. I just called them a "hot."Hm. In my business, it means stuff that needs to get there ASAP like yesterday. For instance when I'm at the terminal in Wausau, WI at 3 or 4 PM and they say "Uh, can you get to Georgia by 6 AM?"
(I did make it, BTW.)
