    Flight 19 - See The USA

    Instead of running gold and small arms in exotic foreign ports of call, we will be settling in for a regular paycheck delivering domestic passengers and cargo.

    Was about to sign on with Transocean but got a call from TWA with a slightly better salary and more stable routes.

    Hmmmm....cargo. I might have a certain twin-engined cargo hauler that could fit the bill.

    Funny you should mention that. I'm in the market for a new cargo hauler. The ol' C-46 is in the shop after that last really bad landing. And I'm getting tired of listening those noisy passengers always screaming in terror back in the cabin. I'm starting to think they're not appreciative of my style of flying.

    Hi again,

    Dudley and I will be flying the DC-4 AA. Sometime along, as Willy noted, might change over to a twin for WAL.

    Didn't expect any snow in south Texas as it is a rare occurrence. But there we were fighting through a blizzard on final into San Antonio...phew!

    Pan Am was chartered to fly some not so bigwigs around on a domestic fact finding trip. So, they pulled out one of their recently retired Boeing Stratoliners and advertised for someone with B307 hours as all their former Stratoliner pilots were busy on the line. As I've got a few hours in a 307 cockpit and the pay is good, I guess I'll be flying Clipper Comet for a while.
