    Hey guys! My dad flew C-46s and C-47s during WWII in the Pacific. He thought me how to fly as a child and I was in the USAF for 20 years... Dad died in 1991. It's great to see these birds still flying... The memories of and with him abound! Thanks!!

      The guy is the worst. He’s the stereotypical owners son. Does he fly? No. Can he work on planes? No. When they went to the UK to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Electras and parts not only did he not shadow his dad to learn anything he went out and got drunk. He also couldn’t be bothered to wear a pair of pants and maybe a collared shirt. Guy schedules flights. Look at his smirk about Jeremy getting his write up. I guarantee zero people see him as a boss at that company.

    I was a bit sad when Buffalo Air lost the ability to do passenger runs. I'd always hoped at some point to go up and take a ride on a DC-3 as well as see some of that part of the world. I know there are still some in parts of the world doing passenger flights, but the companies flying them don't exactly inspire confidence as far as maintenance.

      @@TalkieToaster. That's not really true. Yes all aircraft can fly indefinitely with repairs, but not profitably. A real killer of old planes is structural cracking and corrosion. It will happen inevitably, and it's very expensive to repair, so unless you can justify the cost of said repair over all other options the plane is sold.
