Instead, he made a video disc of himself describing Braniff's history and why the airline used the aircraft that it did. I also won a number of unique business magazines on the airline.

It's pretty awesome that you worked with Terry and other ex-Braniff pilots. I wished I had applied for a job with The-and-Coming Airline, but joined the Air Force instead.

I have all the information on the Carolinas Aviation Museum, Charlotte. I just need to set some time aside to visit and see when the DC-3 is available for flights to the public.
The BN guys were great to fly with, I learned a lot form them. PI was a great company to work for, it hasn't been the same since 1989.

I don't know if they still give rides in the DC-3. I think they may have run in insurance problems. If you do get a chance, take it, you will enjoy it. Take care.
