Bouveur Asterburguess a DC6-pilot out of a job is having a cafe latte in this park in Panama City. Jackie Launder his co-pilot is having a coke and smiling at an old man which is winking at her from a nearby bench.. They are talking about their predicament which is this: Coming in a IFR landing in a thunderstorm at Tocumen Airport last night the number 3 engine melted two pistons and the engine almost burn the whole wing, luckily when this nasty situation came upon them the wheels of the old job were touching the wet runway so they coasted on three engines to hangar ALF-45 where the fire was put out by diligent firemen. Sitting on a table by them, Elworth Canizo, owner of race horses in this country overhears their conversation and turns toward them asking " Excuse, you know how to fly DC6s??" after Bouverīs answer of yes, the man says " Will you fly four of my best racers to Brazil"??....a smile comes upon both pilots and answer in chorus " Yes, sir Boss!!".....so, you see how easy it is to get lucky and hook a flight?......strange world.......(soon in a DC-6 near you.):sheep::sheep:
