DC3Flyer said:When I was flying the 3 I was also flying Lear 25's and my concerns about ice were completely opposite. In the 3 you were concerned about ice enroute. It would carry a ton as long as both engines kept running! In the Lear you were concerned about it on the runways.
I have to agree that it was some of the most fun I've had in an airplane. When I was flying it I would look at a Gulfstream and think boy that would be a blast to fly. Now that I have, I look at the DC3 and think, boy that would be a blast to fly again. Funny how that works isn't it!!
Ah, so true...that's why I'll be at OSH, I'll forget the unbearably hot or cold cockpits, the rain coming in, the smell of puke coming forward in the summer, the ice in the winter, the circling approaches off the ADF with 1/2 mile viz using the reverse sliding scale to a runway with 15watt bulb edge lighting...oh yeah. <bg>
