Never really had the desire to go into the majors or into heavy charter.
I loved primary instruction and later on into War Birds, acro, and acro
instruction; a lot of private tutoring to (rich :-) individuals with
their own airplanes.


I didn't either, but I was starving to death! The big ones are fun in their
own way. Not so much anymore though. Even in the sim, the autopilot is on
most of the time.

I was lucky I guess. Got hooked up somehow with the "rich set" and
developed a VERY substantial private instruction business. Got to fly
more high powered "toys" than I could ever have afforded to fly myself.

Nah, he had a Twin Beech operation in Wilmington. He was just in your
neck of the woods is all. How about Chuck Weldon?

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

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

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.
