Please make my fantasy image come true and tell me you flew DC-3's or Convairs in the Caribbean. Sweet!
My dream was to fly Grumman Mallards to the Bahamas, and all I got was this furlough letter!
The Irish Concord -Shorts 360. Where Blackbeard did all his antics was the Carribean, plus I flew in the states. Nothing like being on call 6-1/2 days a week $50.00 a day, no overtime, holiday pay, load/unload your own cargo,
Those were the days........ I think back on them fondly - Now I am about to puke.
