We operated the A-26 with two pilots, but had single pilot authorization. (We also had authorization to operate C-130's without the FE, but carried one by choice).

Dracos, that was one of the most beautifully penned tomes on flying I've ever read. You weren't the only one whose eyes got misty.

Move over Ernest Gann, Richard Bach and Antoine St. DeExpurey.

Thanks! I'll remember your words every time I take wing.

Talk about getting misty-eyed...go to www.airbum.com, select "Editorials and Grassroots", then read "One Last Time". If you don't have misty eyes and a lump in your throat by the time you reach the last word, you're a better man than I am!

when the time comes, may we all have one last glorious time around the patch before we head for the big hangar in the sky...

Thanks, Norskman.....I'm not quite that computer literate! Several of the other columns are also worth a quick read...

....I don't quite know what to say. Thank you. I am glad that you enjoyed it.
