Lots of NDB's down in SA. I have to admit though that it was the thought

find out if that job went through or who if anyone took it. The P38 that
was involved ended up here in the states somewhere I believe and went to
a private owner.


Speaking of crappy jobs not taken, I remember seeing one years ago involving an
"armored T-28" for thunderstorm and hail research in the midwestern United
States in the Trade-A-Plane. I was actually thinking about it until I got to
the part about the "$10,000 bonus if you complete the contract". Hmmmmm....

Not too long ago I saw a film clip of a guy flying a T-28 through
thunderstorms doing hair research. Probably the same one?

Hair research?

Damn computer, I know what I meant! You'd think it'd be smart enough
to type hail. Gotta watch those grammar checkers.

He survived as did the T-28.

I've always wondered if I had taken that job if I would have ended up on
some Jivaro's lodge pole as a shrunken head :-))


No doubt it would have made a handsome addition to his decor.
