PSA had four of 'em. Three from the factory and one picked up from the
Brooklyn/LosAngeles Dodgers when they bought a real airplane. I wasn't
around quite yet, but the word around the company is that Fish used one of
them trying to figure out why the wings were coming off (whirl mode).

I **was** around in '66 when we did a 10k inspection on one of them and the
spar under the forward biffy could be peeled away with a knife like a banana
from **** juice leaking onto it.

You are one of the few people I know still around with an Electra type
rating. I wrenched my way through college on that tin whore. Also on
the 3-holer, but that was a much nicer airplane.

Yeah....I flew the Navy P-3 Orion for a couple of years ('65-'67) and
then some real old ex-Eastern crap while at Air Florida ('72-'73).
