For you folks that follow my PBJ thread in the restoration forum you know that we are lucky to have some interesting if not strange (I’ll put myself in that category) crewmembers. One of my favorites is “Bucker Boy”. Scott has bucked thousands of rivets for me over the years and believe it or not he likes it! Buck is what is known as a “freight dog” in the business and he flies often all the way around the globe most months during 14 or more days on the road. When he is in town he works on the PBJ in between chasing women around Los Angeles and riding the Harley. Here is a little video that showcases his day job. Now I want some of you novices to know that this is not a standard approach to landing. You wouldn’t believe some of the places he has flown this thing. He has flown humanitarian relief flights and military flights into some of the most god-forsaken places on earth. I never get tired of seeing one of these fly. Check out the video.

Oh and lookie what else Buck gets to fly. Atlas flies these for Boeing. Scott tells me that it flies pretty much the same as any other 74.
