A-Squared:

You guys still flying a dumbo? Or is that some other guys still?

(Edit: Ahhh, found recent pictures of them, never mind. Note to self--need job with them)

I've heard it said by more than one former Dumbo driver that they've flown larger airplanes, but nothing bigger.

>>>>Same question goes for the Douglas-liners. C'mon, there's one DC-6 I know in the state that flies some frieght of course, I've never seen it move in the past five years...sigh.

You just live in the wrong state, I know of about a dozen DC-6's flying on a daily basis.

Just to clarify, I'm not talking about Air Tankers. The planes I'm referring to are operating on Part 121 and Part 125 certificates hauling cargo and fuel.

I don't know of any DC-6's operating as air tankers in the US, some DC-4s and at least one DC-7. There are some DC-6 air tankers operating in Canada.
