I'm having way too much fun with this plane again...

They are one hell of a great aircraft...
Never got checked out in one but flew from both seats a good many times.
What I liked most about the aircraft was the operational ability in the Artic and it's Reverse Thrust.
You plugged in two engine platic plugs and walked away.
The dam Douglas DC3s and Cansos I flew we had to:
-install engine covers...dang they were oily and dirty
-wing covers
-Herman Nelson Heater
-Oil Dilution
etc...etc...etc
The Douglas DC4s were not bad as we had base support but I would have killed to get onto the Twin Otter, Dash 7 or 8.
Turned down the Locheed Electra and Boeing 737 to stay a Training Captain and Check Pilot.
Oh to know what I know now...
Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
