Good afternoon my friends!

Here comes your preview of todays release on Mentour NOW. I apologize for the late preview but we had to do some changes to it before I released it to you.

Let me know what you think about it! The thumb will be added soon.

I will be going to Dublin this evening to start flying from there, 3 days this week. On Tuesday it looks like I will get a chance to try out the MAX 8200, that should be cool!

Have a great week! //Petter

But before all this, there was a humble piston-engined aircraft that managed to persevere for years, AFTER the arrival of the jet age. Not only that, but for at least one generation, maybe more, this was THE aircraft that everyone got their first taste of flying in. Either in peace, or at war. And if some of these planes stick around for another decade and a half or so, they could be flying for ONE – HUNDRED – YEARS. This is the story of the iconic and wonderful Douglas DC-3 – and how it almost didn’t leave the drawing board.

I see that I am amongst the few contributors here to have flown on the "Dakota" as it was known then. That was about 1976. It was a military flight lasting about 5 hours, and at the end of the flight, even though we were just at about 10,000 ft, it was obvious and uncomfortably claustrophobic to be unpressurized. My other memory is, as we lumbered down the runway, shaking quite a bit just before take-off, looking into the cockpit ( no doors then) and seeing the pilots shaking just as much as I was!!! It was a memorable flight, and have not had it repeated since, sadly.
