The only guy I recall who had a Beech 18 operation out of Wilmington was
Gene Guther.


He sounds familiar, but I can't put a face on him.

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.



Don't think I know them. Chuck Weldon was the guy who landed in the quarry
in the 70's. He'd also flown in Korea which is why I thoughyou might have
heard of him. While suspended for crashing the Beech in Wilmigton he had
another accident landing in a snowstorm in DTW. He landed on a taxiway in
error and hit a vehicle. He also collided with a police helicopter in
Detroit City airport around 1975 and walked away from that too!

Bit of a character that everyone seems to know. He had a Beech/DC3 op in
PHL.
