    I fell in love with the DC3 when I was a little boy. There used to be a one Parked at the front of the airport and I would look at it every time we were flying about. A master class of a plane which I hope to fly on one day.

      @@luketherailfanner I once got up close and personal with a couple of DC-3's. The IAF were still using them in the early 90's for verious odd missions. One day a couple of all gray DC-3's were parked on our Maintenance Squadron flight line, I'd never seen one up close in person. I was a Phantom structural technician / aviation fitter, and really enjoyed working on legacy jets.
      Those DC-3's looked like a pair of hedgehogs, there must have been over 20 anteni and wires bristeling out of the fuselage and wings in all imaginable directions. It was obvious they were some kind of electronics warfare / SIGINT, and most likely highly classified, but there was no one there to keep me away, so to hell with it. I was a First Sgt. and technical grade 12, and this was a once in a life time oportunity.
      I walked all around them, under them, inspecting the 70 year old fuselage panels, workmanship, fit and finish, rivits and fastners, what was aluminium and what was cloth construction. It's a masterpeice.
      I kid you not, up close and personal, in the flesh, the DC-3 is a graceful and very elegant plane, even compared to Phantoms and F-16s.
      The Israeli Air Force were still maintaing them to very high standards, and flying them into harms way in the 1990's.
      It gave me an imense feeling of pride and admiration, that this beautiful 70 year old WWII American design was still activly serving on the front line, helping protect Israel.

      @@trespire wow, that is incredible. Truly an honor to work on such a refined aircraft like the dc3. I remember they had an air show at lunken airport, and they had the b25 Berlin express, and the c47(dc3) that’s all brother at the show. They did many fly bys, and were even giving rides/tours. I didn’t get go on, of course it was 300+ dollars. But it was breathtaking to be up and personal with one of them, even with d-day stripes! Thanks for sharing your story

      @@luketherailfanner Just to be clear, I didn't maintain them, only spent about 10 min very closely inspecting those 70 year old WWII "tail draggers" , with a professional and critical eye of a senior structural technician working on Kurnass / F-16 / MD-500 / other platforms.
      Those 2 DC-3's looked very, very well maintained for a 70 year old platform, even when compared to the then very modern block 40 F-16C/D's we had on base.
      The almost surialistic / impossible combination, of the iconic DC-3 shape, and the clean IAF gray livery used for high flying intellegence planes, same shade of gray as the Mach-2+ F-15 "Baz" (air superiority) and RF-4 photo recon (which I did repair often), and with the blue star of David, felt like I was in the presense of aviation international royalty.
      I could almost feel a continous military tradition from the Allied forces that freed Europe in WWII, and the modern IAF. I felt honoured to be in the presense of those DC-3's.

    a pilot get suspended because he freeze some boxes... rookies in the ramp don't make safer pilots in the air, only provide cheap labor for companies that's all... the whole "pay the due" is an excuse to exploit young guys that spent a load of money. Did you ever see a doctor cleaning the floro in a hospital? a lawyer deliverig for Fedex document? This is not Buffalo, the whole north America is doing it and all of the sudden... pilot shortage!!! who want to invest 100K to load boxes and clean plane toilets for years??

      Agreed. I'm 99% sure that its highly dramaticized for the show but I also doubt this isn't done at all. Whatever the situation is, real or not it still angers me because I know it happens. It's the absolute dumbest stuff I've ever heard of. You sink $100k into flight training only to make $2 per hour for the first year hauling boxes onto a truck, then you get roasted on your so called "training." Meanwhile the training in question is a single flight every 3 months and the higher-ups always wonder why you need practice. its absolutely nuts. These people applied to fly, not move boxes.

    I just didn't get it, how is it even possible to permit a landing with hold short of another runway? As far as I know pilot can land short and request to free a runway through nearest taxiway - but it's a pilot's decision. And this "you take off after 14:41, you have no permission" thing. Isn't the dispatcher must stop the plane from taking off if it is prohibited? Pilot during takeoff must look at the watch? I assume in this cases it is possible to get a landing clearance "flight123 clear to land, runway 12, before 12:37, on the first half of the runway" and in the case of a collision - they just landed in 12:38 - they are late, or - they can't stop on first half of the runway - it's pilot's fault.

      What? Yes we pilots usually get 5 mins to 10mins to takeoff. And yes you can land and hold short of a different runway. If you can't, refuse instruction

    One thing about the US written tests (or at least they were) is the FAA publishes all the test questions. Of course there are thousands of questions that are possible but only a small subset will be on the test. This makes cheating by knowing the test questions impossible. They figure if you can memorize all the answers you are as good as the people who figure out the right answers.
