I was recently in San Juan and the USVI. Four Star caught my eye with their all DC-3 fleet. I done some googling on them and I'm not sure what to make of them. Their main HQ is in Philadelphia run by a Harvard Educated lawyer who teaches law and has an MBA from Wharton. The next in command holds an ATP, Wharton MBA, Merril Lynch hot-shot and ex Navy Seal. I played customer and requested a cargo quote. Talked to a pleasant fellow, they basically charge $90 for anything under 100 lbs.

There bio's are online and intially thy look very impressive but then I have to wonder as it seems they get a new challenge every 6-18 months.

Again, not sure what to make of Wharton MBA's running DC-3's. You would think they would be more forward thinking.

So is this just a hobby business? Or a front for the CIA? That ex Navy Seal may have connections and having 3-5 DC-3 could move a lot of stuff around on a short notice.
