Comment on Geronimo, Look Out Below by Pete Schoeninger

Hi Norm:

When I was a teenager in the early 1960s trying anything to build flying time I used to pilot 172s and 182s dropping Skydivers. I was especially in demand in the winter, as no one else was dumb enough to fly an airplane with the door off in Wisconsin winters. Fortunately I never had any kind of an incident, but I never ever to this day (40 years later) had an inclination to jump out of any kind of an airplane.

Great story.Great pics.Can we ever write/say enough about the PA-18 Super Cub? It never
needed much improvement.Just add on’s I think….Tundra tires,belly pods,generally bush
flying mods.Always desired one,never have owned one.Better value and gains than a bank
CD of equal value.Even if engine @TBO!
I fly a C-185 but will get a Super Cub one day. Thanks for your articles again!!

Yes! DC-3 is a backbone of airliners today, it serves a marvelous records during WWII and made to save and change the world from paratroops, medical evacuation, cargo and etc… other’s said there is no replacement of DC-3 except another DC-3, i would agreed for that. there is only one airworthy DC-3 aircraft here in the Philippines with SN# RP-C1353 which i love to flown that great bird, flying a DC-3 as PIC duty it admires me a fullfilling and success as a pilot.

I do not know how many of these are still flying in North America and the world. I had the privilege of witnessing possible flight training of one doing touch and go’s at Dar-es-Salam Airport in Tanzania in 1979 while waiting at the tarmac on a scheduled stop for our Airline flying 707s there from Nairobi, Kenya. The airport apron and almost to the runway was full of performing African dancers in colorful attire assembled to greet an arriving African head of state whose name escapes me now. The dancers were in their act, the training was going on and there was an air of expectancy as people waited for the VIP aircraft.

I’m 67-years young, a former USAFR B-52 pilot that got the opportunity to fly a DC-3 back in Washington, PA…about 40 years ago. Never got a type rating but did spend about 10-hours at PIC…with a very, very, very qualified instructor in the right seat. What a great airplane to fly and what a memory.

Excellent article on a classic piece of aviation history. Would love to fly as co-pilot in one.
Are there any still running and available for “air show type rentals” or even just walk-outs?
I am in New Orleans — VFR pilot w/ASEL.

Keep the great stories coming!
