Must be a bunch of suicidal masochists. When I was at Thule flying
Deuces in 63-64 the 133s used to come in there. But even emergency leaves couldn't get a ride out on the beasts because right then they were silently disappearing en route. The two theories I heard was a stall during cruise-climb on autopilot followed by an in-flight breakup or one of the props coming off and sawing through the fuselage or whatever. During that same tour a 133 stalled on takeoff from Goose Bay - presumed frost atop the Davis wing - and splashed into the fuel farm. Very little left once the fires were out - certainly not enough to allow any conclusions. I do have a classmate who flew them - he doesn't seem to hold any resentment towards the beast since he uses 'C133'as part of his email address. FWIW there is/was? one in the Pima Air Museaum - it looks like a salami with wings. Walt BJ |
