727C47

I learned how to fly in the DC-3 , I was a 520 hour TT pilot when I first flew the 3, I ended up making captain on her 1200 hours later, ATP and type on the same ride, I earned my tay in her for several years, fighting weather, the clock, and circadian rhythms all in the pursuit of aerial commerce. She has taken me across oceans, everywhere from JFK, to Hono, to Bangkok , to grass strips,the world at our feet, at 5000 feet, and 150 knots, lulled by a Pratt Whitney serenade, and the whisper of the slipstream . A blessing to fly her.
