I flew on an old DC-3 one time (I believe I posted about the 'facilities' of this bird a long time ago) and was a little apprehensive when the pilot said "They didn't tell me there were so many of you,  and this is an awful short runway,  so you four guys there go kneel down in the back and we'll see if we can get this thing off the ground" :o :o

I also remember those days, of moving around in a DC-3 to 'balance' the load. Limped across parts of Oregon and its mountains on one engine which was interesting to say the least. Other experiences too numerous to mention, but they were a fine plane in their day (and suspect some still flying, maybe even in CR).

I'll have you know we have our own airlines here!

It is known as TACA

It is just a vicious rumor that it stands for:

Take A Chance Airlines...  :D

So, how did I end up here anyway?

Actually BT, there's more DC-3's still flying than you'd think.  ::)

Both the civie version and the mil. spec. version, the C-47 Skytrain, although unofficially known as the Gooney Bird, were produced in huge numbers, and continued flying longer than anyone could ever expect.

By the end of WWII there had been more than 10,000 of them built. The military kept flying them until 1975 in the US & until 1988 here in Canada. At the height of the war effort they were making nearly 2 an hour.

That means they were earning their keep for over 50 years!!

Douglass stopped keeping records in the 1960's but by then the whole fleet had already carried over 700 million passengers, and logged more than 100 billion miles. That would be by the way, the equivalent of 12 round trips to Pluto and side jaunt to the moon and back.

There is today, according to the registrations, still hundreds of them flying. Some nations still use them as miltary transports even.  ::)

Never wanted to eat one-a-them possums;  old fellow who once worked for my Dad said that they grinned too much;  he thought they knew "something".    Some folks did eat them when I was  a kid;  they'd  put them in a pen and feed 'em shelled corn for a couple of weeks;  bake them with some sweet taters just like you would  a racoon...........yee-hah......
Here's to us and those like us; DanG few of us left!

Mr Mom

     never ate possim but a couple of guys coon hunt. They work in cleveland and one of the co-workers is african-Ameracain asked what they do with the meat?? He said that they just throw it away. The guy said that he would take as much as they could bring him. The guy said that it was good eating. I have coons around my house but i dont think i will eat any. :-X :-X :-X




     thanks alot Mr Mom

Hey Buzz, if'n ya want anudder coyote ta eat I got a fresh one for ya' here .......

Da poor dumb bugger jogged out in front of me this mornin' on da way ta' coffee hour(s) .....  :o

Ford 1, Coyote 0 ........   :-[

In case anyone is remotely curious, a snowplow doing 50mph will launch a Coyote over the ditch, the fence and about a further 50' out into a field, and then there's a few bounces & a roll just fer good measure.

I doubt he even knew what hit him, he didn't even twitch when he finally came to a stop.   :'(

No, but I think the coyote had the word "Western" in reverse on his back-side.  :o

I never posted it but I got a skunk and a pokey-pine too...... the DanG skunk stunk up my blade so bad I had to wash it twice before it stopped stinkin the place up.

The pokey-pine got pretty good distance too, we had a warm spell then a late season snow, I guess he woke up hungry and went lookin for some lunch. He ain't never gonna be hungry again.  ::)
