You're right there! A few years ago I was asked if I'd fly a Champ from California to here by a mutual friend. I said I would. I learned in a Champ, bought a Chief when I was 18 and flew it from San Francisco to Missouri. And I was of course current. I offered to fly it for free, except...

The training gliders are part of the Silent Wings Museum in Lubbock, TX. The DC3's are at Vichy. One tangent led to another, sorry for the confusion. And the ferry pilot thing really p#$!?d me off! I hate to see an airplane abused because you "think" you're good enough especially one I...

Dean, Thought I'd join up since you talk about the site a lot. Glad you got to post my pictures! FYI on the Vichy damage, N1350A wasn't damaged, was sitting on the ramp. Last flew 4 years ago. 3 of the other 4 were freighters untill 1989 when they transitioned to Cessna 208's (Fed Ex Feeder...
