Rumor has it that Santa Fe is looking at C-46s. Every airline needs some light twins.

Flew to Ft Wayne last night.

:very_drunk: Hey there folks,

Well, here we are in Decatur preparing to contintue on to Bowman. Shouldn't be long before we are at Midway (KMDW) at Chicago. A very nice flight.

Note; Picture came out little, enlarge picture to note other members of Flight 19
 
:encouragement:Howdy!

Something is wrong, we have had some very nice flights here lately. All in all the weather has been fair for a change, not the normal kinds of weather we usually run into. Willy and his C-46 gave us a nice but short airshow at Bowman (KLOU), yep he finallly brought her down, but will be needing new brakes.
 
Willy, this one's for you...

The Flight from KPAH to KSPI started with a lot of rain Barkley Regl airport, and of course we needed to fly right into the large storm heading south. All in all it was a godd and fun flight. The next flight is from KSPI to KALO.

Leaving Vicksburg (from what I figured out was the short runway airport), we flew on to New Orleans intending to land at KNEW Lakefront Airport. Weather reports indicated that Lakefront has less than 1 mile visibility and the big airport there KMSY had over 6 mile visibility. We elected to divert to KMSY. It puts us farther away from the French Quarter, but it just seemed like the prudent thing to do.

We didn't fly last night. One guy was hungover and the other was still somewhere on Bourbon Street....
 
I guess its Hello folks, me head is still swiming around from doing to much soda pop down on Bourdon street! hehe.I guess that where we were! While we were waiting for the rest of Flight 19 to show up I took a tour of KMSY. Took a lot of pictures, and some picture of our plane, but somewhere along the line a C-46 of WAL cargo showed up, and parked next to the C-46 Santa Fe, hey, they don't look to bad. :very_drunk:
