Yup, Thad Jr. (actually the III) was my flight instructor. I got to do quite a bit of flying with Sr. in the Maule as well. What I remember most about him was telling us that "down in Moultrie real Maule pilots land on the ramp, I land on the ramp." Lord, I loved that plane.
I remember "Good", how about "Boss Hog"?
Sorry about the other thing but, I remember the ballpark number a couple of hundred thousand less. I just don't remember specifics. I know for sure that DW made less than the highest paid airline pilot in the country at the time. That honor went to a Delta MD-11 FO. He was the king of creative bidding.
