When we get Ka-27s for JFK-Manhattan flying let me know. I'll fly those as long as I can commute in it. (Neighbor has an unused FAA Heliport 2 houses down)

Surprised we still dont fly Connies since you know they would be paid for million times over.

The realities of AQP training for a reciprocating flight engineer newhire from the magenta generation just gave me a panic attack. We'd have them use the DC7 outside as a procedures trainer though.

But F yeah would I fly a Connie....

Perhaps some info coming out this time of year. Delta is poised to strengthen their WB fleet for the future.

Len Morgan once wrote that the Connie had red hot, exposed coils on the glare shield to defog the windshield. and that you grabbing one to adjust your seat was a mistake you only made once.

Looking at old pics is fun, but I suspect herding one of those things at 25k through summertime TRWs with no radar while the radio rack put off 15k BTUs of heat was less than an awesome experience.
