[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 397629, member: 9789"] I was Manager of the ONT air operation at the time. I would go to bed around 3 AM. My son, got me up around 7:30 am and told me something bad was happening. When I heard all the jets involved, I told my son we were at war and we better go to Costco and stock up on staples now. Southern California skies are loaded with planes and helicopters everywhere you look. There were none.... It was eerie! I worked at the Ontario International Airport and nothing was moving. We had to unload all our jets and put all the packages and cargo into 48 foot trailers that did not fit well on the air belts! Every day was a different operating plan. Our production was about 30-40%% of our normal PPH each day. It took about 2 weeks to get back to normal. Every once in a while you would hear a couple of fighter jets fly by at low altitude and high speed. I will never forget.... [/QUOTE]
