For a lot of us in the mid to late 1990's IFL was a last stand for the big props , the last gasp for a certain type of aviation, round motors, and tail wheels that was rapidly disappearing in the lower 48, it was a company that was close knit, that did things the right way, when we eked out a profit in 1993 after a few years of struggle they threw a party for all of us in January '94, and had the FBO van pick us up at home and drop us off afterward so no one had to drive, it was 9 DC3's, 2 CV340's, and a DC4 , plus 2 EMB -110's , against an all turbine world, and not only did we hold our own , we were thriving. I was a DC3 and Convair Captain, a check airman on the 3, and even DO 135 for a while during my tenure there. I left in early 2000 to fly pax 727's , my memories of my time there are warm ones, yet companies change, cultures change, it is what it is. I wish all of my IFL alums the best, and I wish the best to those who are there today, it's a tough, tough, job , that non sched , on call thing, God bless all those who are in that mix, may they get the rest, and support that they need , and move on when the time is right to the cockpit of their dreams. Cheers out .
