I think maybe regulators regulate not because they care about safety or want the world to be lovely, but because they just like regulating. They're the unpopular kids at school, getting their own back. And they're puritans; and as someone once said, the great terror of the puritan is that someone, somewhere, may be having a good time...

Well said, Bargepole & weloveseaplanes.
BTW - in my years in the KBOS area, I often spent a hour or two at the GA terminal, and somewhere have accumulated a dozen or so photos of P-B DC-3's, Lockheed 10s, and one modified Cessna T-50 (updated w/ 300hp Lycomings and 3-blade feathering props).

I used to empty the sh!t cans on the dc3s for PBA as a student many many moons ago. Great memories of those dc3s and am very proud to have worked with them even as the blue room man!

Love the old sweetheart. Saw one land on a gravel strip and weathervane a full 90 degrees, for at least two seconds, then SNAP right back down the centerline. Then it was my turn.
