Thanks to all contributors. This thread has made marvelous reading so far. I hope other pilots will share their memories and insights re this iconic aircraft.
I hope we continue to see these lovely old ladies fly. The skills required to fly them well must bring a deep feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment to pilots.
Skyways, thanks for your contribution. From your other thread I can sense your deep satisfaction at being a part of aviation history today. Your reflection about the obstacles you faced are a sad reflection on the inept nature of aviation regulation and control.
Keep the contributions coming.
