Okay Skunk:

Them are familiar N-numbers. 619 and 620 especially. Good -200 series planes. Strong performers.. .Did many JFK-TLV trips on them birds.

624, hmm not so sure.. .623 was one of the ex-SAS and a trouble maker.. .Cronic fuel indicating problem.. .621 I think was an ex Argentinian plane.

617, 615 and 613 freigters, hence "TowerDog". .Preferred to fly the freighters, moneywise and otherwise.

Flew 623 to Tel-Aviv on a contract for PARC May 2000 to have it D-checked and fixed. Still there.. .$20 mill later.. .Really enjoyed the PARC contract.. .Straight people and the check came on time.. .Southern Air should get 623 any day now, only a year or so late.

Good old days hauling them 747s indeed.. .Did it for Evergreen, Kuwait Airways and Tower Air.
