Don't recognize the names Jim.  Cliff Stout was the Test/Production that 
I knew and first flew in the 727 with then.  Were they at the factory in 
Washington?
JS>  The AT-7, AT-11 and C-45 versions of the Beech 18 made

I didn't find that the case with the Gooney as I thought it was one of 
the most docile aircraft that I have flown.  I certainly do agree with 
you on the others the only one of which I flew was the C-45/D-18S.
You can probably make the statement that any Conventional Tailed A/C is 
with you till you have it parked and shut down.  Builds character.
