My father flies out of a small airfield called "Cross Keys" in southern central New Jersey. The airport is home to a skydiving club which has acquired an upgraded DC-3. The craft's engines evidently provide more thrust than the weight of the craft, and my father has seen a demonstration of the craft climbing _vertically_! -- Jay Vassos-Libove libove@alf.dec.com Digital Equipment Corporation decwrl!alf.dec.com!libove Atlanta Customer Support Center Opinions?
