Never really had the desire to go into the majors or into heavy
charter. I loved primary instruction and later on into War Birds,
acro, and acro instruction; a lot of private tutoring to (rich :-)
individuals with their own airplanes.
I didn't either, but I was starving to death! The big ones are fun
in
their own way. Not so much anymore though. Even in the sim, the
autopilot is on most of the time.

I was lucky I guess. Got hooked up somehow with the "rich set" and
developed a VERY substantial private instruction business. Got to
fly
more high powered "toys" than I could ever have afforded to fly
myself.


You were!

Of course, you'd flown them before courtesy of uncle sam..

Did you know Gordon Van Kowneberg, BTW?

Bertie

No, but with a tag like that,he HAD to have money :-))


Nah, he had a Twin Beech operation in Wilmington. He was just in your
neck of the woods is all. How about Chuck Weldon?


Bertie

The only guy I recall who had a Beech 18 operation out of Wilmington was
Gene Guther. He flew for Torrence the Cambell Soup guy :-)
I do remember Tony Necastro and Joe Thielmann. Both of them flew Twin
Beech's for Atlantic if I remember right.
