Pinky. Around '69 or '70 my old mate RF operated River Baiyer - Hagen in, I think, a C206. Tara Monohan put a snake on at Baiyer River in a woven basket and during the flight it got free, slithering into the cockpit. RF put his flight bag over the snake and did a very rapid one hand landing and taxi into the Talair terminal, only to be met by Heli complaining about his taxi speed.
The incident may be in "Balus"? Or Tinnie may remember, think he was in Hagen around that time? It was well before Chuck joined the team.
