Y'All,
Not too manyyears ago I was privileged to do the ILS installation flight at
Salinas, CA. Spent the better part of the day on the jump seat of a DC-3
with a break for lunch. Most of the flight was at 110 mph below 1500 feet.

FYI, I was told they still have a flying DC-3...for exhibition only.
Would be interesting to know where it's going to be next...

N87 (the Challanger 601) was still at CLE today...maybe I can bum a
second ride later this week...??
