I thought I would pose the limit question as it make a change from best this
that or the other questions. Another story comes to mind from the Berlin
airlift when a C47 was given a load of coal really meant for an Avro York so
ended up with double it's max load; The pilot commented "I thought she was a
bit sluggish".


I recall the Airlift story the C47 misloaded with n sheets of
not the ordered perforated aluminium planking for runways, but n of
perforated STEEL planking...

According to a caption on a documentary on TV the other night, the C-
47's payload was 60000 lb; so what's the problem? ;-)
