We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Flew Montreal to Schefferville to go caribou hunting in a DC3. Seats on each side and cargo strapped down in the middle. Very interesting but don't think it was 5+ hour ride. Also flew Timmins, ON to Moosonee duck hunting in a DC3. Even insulated these make a heck of a racket. The pilot is always busy...
Flew on a Piedmont airlines DC 3 back during the VN era days. Also helped load out cargo on DC 3's which is a real chore as the tail sits low and cargo wants to slide downhill. They will probably be flying 100 years from now.
