  Sorry you have problem beieving that one... but the same pilot was
 later KC-135 INSTRUCTOR at Castle for some time before retiring
 and very good.  Maybe you can get too complacent. I never landed
 one... I did not get my commercial multi-engine until after
 retirement. I did navigate in C-47 for three years mostly arctic
 flying... Got my main experience in Beech 18 after retiring tho
 I did some right seat flying in T-11 while instructing Bomb
 aimers.  We started to use C-45s for Navigation at Harlingen
 when it reopened... but soon0 got T-29 instead. C-45 could not
 be fitted to teach radar....
    Maybe I just flew with too many desk types getting their
 4 hours per month and basics. :)
    Wind storm almost got one of our C-47s here at Knoxville
 on the Fourth.  Luckily the hanger roof landed short of the a/c.
 But the wind was something. C-47 belongs to Remote Area Medical
 group.
