[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Henry Kisor: [qb] As long as we're talking about memorable flights: Circa 1968: Miami to Marathon in the Keys on a Cape Air (I think) DC-3, sitting in the last row, and landing in a stiff and gusty crosswind. The pilot executed a perfect wing-low approach and flare, then kicked the nose the rest of the way with a tromp on the rudder pedal, touching down with a small thunk. I really felt that last maneuver. Those old DC-3s could wag their tails. [/qb][/QUOTE]Fast forward to 2009. Driving back from my son's wedding in Key West, we passed the Marathon airport. Sitting there looking very spiffy was a DC-3 painted for Ozark airlines. Have no idea what it was all about but almost drove off the road. Went back to take a few photos. My first flight was a grandmother treat in a Ozark Airlines DC-3 for the 40 miles from Clarksville to Nashville Berry Field in the mid 50's. Sure beat the long drive on a very hilly US 41A.
