Used to ride Mackey Airlines out of FLL to the Bahamas. Rode Convair 440's. Always a ground person on the fire extinguisher for start up. Neat times.

But no way in hell would I want earn a living in one. Now, an Electra or Convair 580 might be a different story.

Posted: 8/13/2012 3:18:54 PM [Last Edit: 8/13/2012 3:20:45 PM by Kalahnikid] My dad is pretty good friends with an old guy that owned a freight op in the 60s/70s, he owned three Beech 18's and two DC3's and has something like 12,000+ hours of twin radial time. Fascinating guy to talk to. They only did express overnight delivers in the midwest, he still has a framed ad they had made and it says "XYZ Frieght Airline, A Fly By Night Operation"

The guys working on my neighbors roof keep calling me a paranoid weirdo in Morse code. Award 24/365: Redneck pilot User Info
