Question
I am 69 years old with 10,000 hours of flying time including 6500 turbine, 8500 MEL, 1000 IFR. I hold an ATP certificate with type ratings in the DC-3 and B727 (I am current in the 727).  I would like to know if there are any jobs available for ferrying airplanes?  I am retired so my schedule is flexible and pay is not an issue.
