5,500 hours in the DC3 equally divided between
the piston and turbo versions. He was Chief Pilot

First Officer: Kevin Lemke
Kevin could never choose between two career opportunities
- COP or PILOT. So, he has happily done both well.
Kevin has logged 1,000 hours in DC3's, as a crewmember
for Basler Aviation. His goal to join an airline
in his younger days was interrupted by the good
fortune of starting a family. In 1978, he was
a dispatcher for the Fond du Lac Police Department.
He worked through the ranks as a patrolman, Sargent
and Lieutenant and is now a Captain in charge
of media relations. Kevin has given leadership
to the Police Department implementation of online
and internet services implementing website and
email. His aviation training and experiences fully
qualify him to serve as a full crewmember of a
DC3 flight crew.
First Officer in Training: D. G. Jones
On June 8, 1970 at age 25, Don Jones was deemed
worthy of an FAA Airman's Certificate. His trembling
knees were so long that the truth of nervousness
was not so apparent to H. K. Picco, the FAA Examiner
in Decatur, Illinois. Don flew as pilot in command
single and twin engine aircraft until 1982, logging
1,135 hours in five classes of airplanes. From
1982 - 1992, Don administered flight operations
of his company, which utilized three midsize jets,
including Lear 35 and Westwind and turbo prop
Beech King Air. He is currently enrolled in several
months of training to become a qualified crewmember
of the DC3. Aviation has been an instrumental
business travel tool of Don's professional and
personal life as an American Entrepreneur. The
DC3 943DJ is the 15th aircraft he has owned since
that first FAA checkride in 1970.
