Hello:
Sure enjoy your magazine and reliving some history of days gone by.
From 1978-84 I was employed in Honolulu, Hi. as a pilot for DHL Island Airways. At the time we were operating 2 DC-3s, 2 DC-6s, and 1 Lockheed Electra. I can say that I was privileged to be a part of that and consider those days to be the most fun flying I have ever done. It gave one a taste of what the propliner era was like. There is nothing like the sound of an 1830 or 2800 starting up or humming along at cruise all in sync.
I finished my career flying the jets at United but always but always remember the days of flying the big radials as the glory days.

I Met Steve Piercy in Las Vegas shortly before his
untimely demise. The magazine is Top Notch when it
comes to following Prop Airliners. Our former bird
N836D was displayed in one of your issues many years
ago thanks to Steve. Keep up the good work.
