Adam with a DC3 engine
Axel Meyer, a professor of evolutionary biology from Germany, was in town for a few days. He likes to fly and I had not seen him for a while so, with Colin’s connivance, we hooked up for a morning of flying to Santa Barbara. Axel was due in SB for a seminar so he and I met at the crack of dawn at the UCLA guest house. A breakfast at Bread and Porridge ate up enough time that Colin could get the boys off to school and head down to the airplane to meet us. The DC3 is still parked right near Colin’s plane so Axel and I posed under the engine of this great looking airplane. I would love to land this beast, especially at a short strip like Catalina.
