A Dreamer's Job

A dreamer’s job, being an airline pilot, flying around the globe and back again. Heck even if you never leave Alaska this job is a one-of-a-kind adventure, especially when you are flying a Douglas DC6. In 1953 the DC6 would whisk 95 people to Europe overnight and today it hauls cargo big and small to all parts of this great land. When you start your piloting career out as a Flight Engineer, an important member of the DC6 crew, you know you have built the foundation for the best stories in your library.
