Good life, but back then jobs on big jets were hard to find.
Got hired with Evergreen on the DC-8 with 5200 hrs TT.
Dang DC-3 and DC-8, what an experience, and a sailboat!
I saw a couple of jobs in the Virgin Islands, but I'm not sure if it would affect my Green Card status and residency requirements.
