Even the Colombian AF and Salvadorian AF stil fly AC-47s.
There's a DC-3 at Hampton Airport. I love to watch it do a wheelie on
landing--if the pilot ever three-points, I've never seen him do so.
Regardless of the wind, he takes off to the south. He's heading for
Nashua, I think, and he doesn't want to spend the gasoline it would
take to head north (the usual runway at 7B3) and then change his
heading.
Expensive hobby!
That's the proper method to land the Gooney, and the Twin Beech also...tail
low on the mains reducing the sink rate in the flare....most tailwheel prop
fighters as well.
