All those dials are just there for the pilot to see the look on the face of the passengers when he leans in and starts rapping the glass with his knuckles.....

Never knew Goodyear made planes. Someone ordered 10 cancelled after five.

No wonder the engine cowling is so long and large The F2G was equipped with a 28-cylinder, four-row Pratt & Whitney R-4360 air-cooled radial engine.

Anyone know where I can get an altimter, attitude indicator (thanks gargle) and some retractable landing gear for the C5? It's time to increase the throttle.

Don you really should put this request in the classified section!

200,000 people walked the Golden Gate Bridge the day before it opened to vehicular traffic.

Early days glass cockpits. They were a bit step up in situational awareness for pilots but now they are video games.

I like that the manufacturer has included Left and Right indicators so that the crew members know which seat to occupy.

Trust me. The left seat guy will always let the right seat guy know the proper seating positions. Kinda like engineers and engineering technologists.

Hokey Pokey is a necessary skill for pilots... Both the dance and interaction with the stewardess

That's an ambitious undertaking Don. Altimeters are as easy as a handheld Garmin but the Attitude indicater and the retractable landing gear would be a difficult and expensive install. Transport Canada registration would also be a nightmare. Here's an alternative. These hovercraft kits are available relatively cheap in comparison and the savings on tire wear would give you a quick payback. A handful of Tek screws and a couple hours and you'd be flying. The bonus is avoiding that nasty landing if she ever stalled. You could have the first hovercraft Corvette in Carbonear.
