Re: New Captain of the Ship Aircraft - Connie L049
I would like a feature to simultaneously start all four engines at once, like was done with Columbine , President Eisenhower's constellation I believe that was a military aircraft in the C family and a very late model too. Columbine II was a VC-121A, essentially an L-749, which is more or less visu...

Re: Why is it "rotate" and not "pull back" ?
Because you rotate on the main gear with a pitch up nose attitude to climb away from the ground. Also, the word rotate is easy to say and doesn't sound like anything else, therefore can't be misconstrued as any other command. Rotate sounds like lots of other words like "negate","mand...

Re: New Captain of the Ship Aircraft + 50% off COTS this wee
Well I think the Connie would be a good compromise. After all it was the fastest three engine propliner :wink: :lol: L-049 didn't have the turbo compound PRT (aka Part Recovery Turbine :mrgreen:) so hopefully it will be somewhat reliable :lol: The nickname was still best three-enginer propliner, by...

Re: It's a CONNIE !
While I partially agree, the only Constellation I know of is the Just Flight version which is little more than a visual model.jjunior wrote:i'm really REALLY sad about this... we already have Connies... we need an Electra, C46, DC-4...

Re: Surviving T-6's and P-51's
There were 15,495 of the T-6 family produced, and approximately 15,586 P-51 Mustangs + 500 A-36 Apaches built. So there's an equal number that were constructed. According to FAA airworthiness records (for the United States naturally), there are 411 T-6s + 302 SNJs + 24 Harvards registered as of toda...
