I'd have flown a skip with wings to get a command.
I went back to flying DC3s to get my first command. I was required to fly with very inexperienced skippers on the BAC 1-11 and really felt quite at home doing everything if needed, but the seniority thing was what it was.
Dak was not the fun I remembered. Reach for the radar . . . oh, that's right, we haven't got one. Nave aids. Ooooo . . . I remember nave aids. But, I could do a full procedural VDF approach by the end of my time on that machine.
Tell the kids of today.
