Miss Montana, in case you didn’t know, was the jump ship at Mann Gulch in 1949. Her story’s here. The [late] tanker pilot Chuck Ott of Alaska and Montana fame used to say in his retirement years that he’d really like to fly a DC-3 one more time before he died. I don’t think he got to.
KPAX TV — the best broadcaster in Montana — has a terrific collection of info and photos online. And thanks to Connor and EAA.org for the heads-up!
