Classic British Flight Sim

Time to get on the ground!

Did the extinguiser not work??.......or the shut???? down or the feathering?????

Hi mate. Didn't bother with any of that. Mainly due to not knowing what the hell to do! Just turned all the fuel lines off and hoped the thing didn't explode before we landed.

Note to self: read up on fire procedures..

Looks like a typical flight to me.

The 377 frequently landed on three engines as engine failure was a very common occurrence.

Those 'corncobs' were a bear to maintain and the limiting factor as far as aircraft range was not how much fuel it could carry but how much engine oil! It would run out of engine oil long before it ran out of fuel.

They could somtimes seize so violently they would shed the prop or on occasion, the whole engine

I think I would absolutely cack my pants if that happened on my flight.

I seem to recall the Stratocruiser being referred to as the best 3 engined propliner over the Atlantic !EricT

Nice shot Eddie , Shaarp.

Isn't Tony (Techy) up theer telling you to make some adjustments?

Hi Joe,

Nah, Tony is on the ground waiting to assist with all the passengers with whipcash

I blame the flight engineer.
