How do you get one of those canceled check gigs? Seems like that would
be the best way to learn the ME business, but quick!
Well, I was flying a Twin Beech out of Philly and this contract came up as
well, so the boss bought a 310 and I ended up doing it every
night.Johnstown-Altoona-Harrisburg-Philly-Harrisburg-Altoona-Johnstown. I
don't know if they still do it in this day and age. I had to stay in some
fleapit in Johnstown during the day. I liked the 310, but with the
cancelled checks on board it was almost always at the edge of it's aft CG.
Sometimes well beyond. When I complained, my boss checked it out and
decided that it was even worse than I though and pulled the aircon out of
the back of the airplane. It was a lot of work to fly instruments, though.
If you took your eyes off it for a second it was on it's side. The twin
Beech would happily fly along all by itself with only the occasional nudge
in the right direction.

That would be some bumpy flying when the wind's from the west or
east...
And it's amazing how there's a line of scud that hangs around from
Blue Mountain to Laurel Ridge no matter how CAVU it is everywhere
else....
Harrisburg as in MDT?
