Sorry, I would like to add, I flew Ozark Airlines out of ALO for many years. Nicest crews, and people you could ask for. Gooniey birds rock! DC3's, now that's flyin.
Well, my story is not as bad as most of you folks. I am a bigger fellow,(6'3,260 lbs.)my son lives now in Hawaii. Come and see me here, stay a few weeks. I don't want to go thru the crap he does, just coming back for Christmas. If I go there, Iam thinking, train from Ia.to the west coast, then boat to the island. Haven't really got into the logisitics yet, but hey, I can get up, walk around, and see some of this wonderfull country at ground level.
