Memories...

You guys are bringing them back. I've forgotten a lot of systems stuff on the Herk, but I haven't forgotten how much I loved flying her for nine years with SAT. Someone said it's a big cub. He's right.
Used to practice total hydraulic failure ILS's into SFO. Worked like they said it would. Never had the guts to land one like that, but I flew to a quarter mile final several times. You had to push up the inboards to initiate the flair. My favorite aircraft to this very day.
