I was at IFL when it was a DC-3 and Convair company, the training was always good, and was always demanding,because the environment we operated in was always so demanding. No sims back then of course, we basically followed the Ernie Gann canon. At our round engine height in 1994, we had 9 DC-3's, 2 CV340's, and a DC-4. The CV580's started to show up in '95, the DC3's went bye,in '97, the DC4.in '96, and the CV340's in 2000. I'm proud of my alma mater,and their success in the present day,much of our then competition is smoke. Cheers out.
