There was an Epps Flying Service (I think it was called) down around
Atlanta.

Bill flew out of Bradley (KBDL) in CT.


As an aside, I can't count the number of times where every airliner
missed the approach while at the same time every freight dog got in. You
learn a lot about real world IFR flying from doing a stint as a courier
for a year or two.

Keeping in mind that I can count all the approaches I've flown on one
finger.......

Is it becuase the airlines are trying to keep the pax comfortable, and
don't want to bounce all over the sky on an approach, or are freight dogs
better?

The freight dogs may be better, but they often push the limits a bit farther
knowing that they won't be taking 100 people with 'em if they make a
mistake.

The freight pilots I talk with (particularly the guys who fly smaller
aircraft) have some incredible stories to tell. Yikes...
