Good Morning Dan,

  

 I received my multi-engine training in 1950 while working for Tufts  Edgecombe at Elmhurst Airport which was just northwest of the Outer Marker for  Rwy 13 Right at Midway.  One of his bombers had the 300 Lycomings  installed. It would actually maintain altitude with one engine throttled back to  idle as long as we were way below gross. Spent the summer flying charters with  the Cessnas to Northern Wisconsin resorts. 

  

 A couple years after I started with UAL in 1951, my old boss got a set  of Hartzell full feathering props approved on his Lycoming powered Bobcat. It  would easily out perform the Apache when it came on the scene.

  

 We must have crossed paths somewhere between Midway and Elmhurst as I have  continued to fly in the area ever since.

  

 Who's Apache were you flying?

  

 Hope you are enjoying the desert!

  

 Happy  Skies,



Old Bob
