World's Shortest Cargo Flight

Hey IFC! Today’s schedule featured one of SoCal’s main Cargo hubs which was Ontario Int’l (KONT). I flew the craziest UPS Cargo flight ever.

At a mere 18nm: SBD-ONT (yes, you don’t even have to retract gear)
Spending more time on the ground taxiing than up in the air flying is really weird 😂

Server: Expert
Airline/Aircraft: UPS MD-11F
Route: San Bernardino Int’l to Ontario Int’l (KSBD-KONT)
Flight Time: 18 minutes


At the ramp at SBD


Lining up for departure with San Gorgonio in the background


Takeoff!


Today’s cruising altitude of 4,000ft


Landing on Runway 26L


Parked off loading Cargo that could’ve been driven to the airport


A view from the Inland Empire with Chino Airport (KCNO), the Santa Ana Mountains, Orange County and parts of the Greater Los Angeles Area, with Catalina Island off the coast.
