DC3 Turbine operators

[Ill Mitch]

There is a company that runs charters down to Baja in one. It comes thru LVK quite often.

Rhoads Aviation in Columbus, Indiana (KBAK). They have some convairs there too. I heard they dont fly much though.

I never saw a turbine one there. Or is it the one that was/is always in the hangar...?

Yeah thats right, it was Columbus. I thought it was there's but it might have been just there for MX?

I saw it about 2 months ago when I flew in for a few hours one evening. It was sitting up near the FBO. All the rest of their stuff was in hangers. I have a few friends from Columbus so I will see if they know whats up with them. My guess would be on demand frieght for Cummins.

Turbine 3's

Yes it is Rhoades Aviation in Columbus. They actually have two of them. But the one you saw in Columbus is used for freight and also they use it for smokejumpers out of California during fire season. Nice airplane and a blast to to fly.
Later,52
