Wow.....with the Dougs we were blowing engines, and cylinders , usually out of town, my last DC3 inflight shutdown, about a month before we ceased 3 ops was over Long Island about 15 miles from JFK, but right next to Islip where we fluttered down. The next day a Convair580 dropped off a fresh engine and mechanics, a day and a 1/2 after that ,post test flight ,we were winging back to home plate , it was a well oiled machine, and we realized things broke...
