So using zoomlogic I've got time in numerous warbirds and flew many
missions performing in Airshows. I should be a writer LOL!!!

Well I saw a DC3 crash. Can I count that as a mission??

If that were zoom he would say "HE survived a crash landing in a DC-3
and with absolute skill and resolve brought it in. Thereby saving a
plane load of women ,Nuns and the vice President Oh!! and a couple of
famous movie stars as well . In addition to fighting off attacks by
terrorists armed with shoulder fired missles and controlling pitch by
yelling at the passengers to run back and forth in the cabin...

I'd say you could count it as a zoom style mission,certainly, he would
and
has:-)

See ya

If I remember correctly I flew in a DC-3 from Fairbanks to Adak, Ak when
I was in the Nav They told us of the DC-3's that crashed into the
mountains at the end of the island trying to make it in. So I guess I
must have been on many harrowing missions with near loss of life ;-)

Ouch, that brings on unpleasant memories; Spring 1956, batch of us
scheduled from Anchorage to Shemya. One seat left so me and buddy
drew. I won, he lost big time, next flight plowed in somewhere on the
chain. Wonder if that isn't the one at ADAK.

Yea could be, everytime you fly in they point out the reckage on the side of
the mountain which they never removed the wreck!
