I thought they flew SA-16s (Grumman Albatrosses).


No, Mallards, smaller than the Albatross. I believe they have/had one or
more Albatross, and I may have fueled it once prior to a passenger pickup at
FLL. However that was more than 10 years ago and I may be confusing Chalks'
Albatross for one belonging to a private owner.

Each and every Chalks employee I ever dealt with were just as nice as you
would hope. Heck, even most of the passenegers were above average in the
nice department.
