Recurrent training: that time of year when you realize that you've forgotten more than you realized.



DC6 Cockpit Procedures Trainer


Center Pedestal. The FE sits facing here.


Captains throttles and FEs throttles. The saying goes that when the FO is flying the FE allows him to borrow his throttles and the FE is allowed to borrow the Captain's throttles.

Which levers are you referring to?

You need them that big for leverage. The number 1 or number 4 engines are a long ways from the cockpit so those cables are hundreds of feet and have to make multiple twists and turns.

Nice, like the blown head too! I'm sure that thing is a bear to fly, but I also bet you love that plane more than any other!

Absolutely beautiful, that looks like a prize winning restoration! Do they take that kind of pride in the line aircraft?

One word, two syllables to describe looking at the old Douglas product:

B-O-N-E-R!

That is a man's airplane right there my friend. Enjoy it.
