Go along in the right seat in a 1954 B-18
Hanger neighbor for close to 20 years used a 1953 B-18 to haul skydivers. I helped John on the maintenance those years and got to fly it from time to time. Fell in love. Its sweet flying machine. John eventually sold it and it went to Canada and was put on floats. If I ever seen it, I would recognize it by some patches I put on it and also by some skydiver dents. We also installed a larger skydiving door and outside foot and hand rails.
