Too bad they never made a lot of DC-7s combine the simple reliability of the Douglas Airframe with the Excellent Wright 3350s, it doesn't get much better than this. Love that fire from the exhausts!

Yeah that would be IQM with the barrel bomb setup underneath. It's OK the digital duplication they do lately of historic flights, but there is nothing like a real four engined piston pounder! Of course the Lancs and Halifaxes and lots of the real bombers had Merlins, but I'll take an air cooled r...

The DC-4/ C-54 is one of the best and most under-appreciated airplanes out there. They just keep on flying with very few surprises, a lot like it's older sister the DC-3.
I was privileged to work on DC-4s for several years and it's cool someone built a flying model! Is that Swissair colors?

I'd like to know if one would fly 20,000+ hours as an airtanker without structural problems. The Douglas DC4s and DC-6s have done that and keep on going, I don't know of any tanker plane that's built so tough. Long term durability decides the good from the truly great!

I hope we get a big fire year this year and the people will realize that air tankers do serve a useful purpose! I really enjoyed doing aircraft maintenance, working with the A...

T89 is a great old bird. She was actually one of the original pre-production Lockheed / Allison testbeds. The only Electra to be fitted with underbelly speed brakes which turned out to be unnecessary as the props do such a good job of slowing the plane down in the air and on the ground. Now with ...
