The only time I have been in a Dak was as a passenger...I'd been to the UK to a big party the day after my first solo, and ended up busting my ankle after way too much celebrating in high heels.

Anyhow, I had to get home to Jersey next day and went on the Air Atlantique DC3 (I think it was G-AMRA) flight from Exeter as a "non-ambulatory pax". I remember how hard the poor hostie had to work pushing me in the wheelchair up that slope so I could look inside the cockpit! Disembarking was a lot easier. Wheeee! That's a steep slope!

Meanwhile one of the DC3s here in Aus has my name as a callsign....have been told if I want the rego I have to buy the whole aircraft. Anyone wanna share?
