[QUOTE="Cariboocreek, post: 301287, member: 4940"] There were multiple issues that led to the airframe problems. Primarily a lack of understanding of the impact of pressurizing and de-pressurizing a metal tube over and over again. The window design was definitely a contributing factor. From an aviation standpoint however one can see that the wing and nacelle design was light years ahead of the airframe and fuselage. With the exception of the cockpit area that fuselage looks like it was just a plagiarized DC-6. She was still a cool old bird though and like many things in Canadian aeronautic, was years ahead of her time....... [/QUOTE]
