C-45 bird flew ok. Would fly on one engine after airborne an cleaned
up . Not any super performance of course. Max altitude on SE was probably 5K or so (from memory). I remember when I trained on the Beech-18 (E-18S...I think), the manual refered to the installation of JATO pods to "assist in the event of an engine failure or for short take-offs". I wish we had them when I was taking off fully loaded with cargo over a high population area. Fun fun fun... Some are still flying today There are quite a few still flying today. I can think of 5-6 cargo companies off the top of my head that still use them and private ones are all over the place. -John *You are nothing until you have flown a Douglas, Lockheed, Grumman or North American*
