2021 post.
I saw this FLOAT DC-3 at the Greenville, Maine (i.e., Moosehead Lake), airport in 2021 & as luck would have it also got to meet & chat with the owner of it, the legendary Max Folsom. I then went back in 2022 to see him again. He wasn’t in good health. So, I didn’t take any pictures of him — but I took more of the DC3. Suffice to say my posts have garnered considerable attention — especially when Max sadly passed away last September.
For the last week I have been getting a LOT of hits on my “Max DC3” posts. I knew that the famous ‘Greenville’, Maine flyby was Labor Day Weekend. This was just after. So, I knew something was up. I had not realized that it had flown.
I am glad. Of course, I am glad.
I just wish Max had lived to see it.
Five days shy of the one-year anniversary of his death. I WISH they had delayed it till the 19th. C’set la vie. All that matters is that it flew. Not sure whether it will get certified for regular flights.
Bravo, Max.
