Pecole Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted October 24, 2016 Excellent! What's not to love about that! Thanks! A very old (82) former pilot especially appreciates a comment coming from a guy who knows how different is today's flying, mostly as electronics' surveyor.

david strachan Posted October 24, 2016 Share #6 Posted October 24, 2016 Pecole Why are the engine cowlings so dented and "beat up"? Cheers.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecole Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted October 25, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Pecole Why are the engine cowlings so dented and "beat up"? Cheers.. Well, Dave, it's because (if I remember right so long ago) the Belgian Air Force did not receive in time the replacement for a cowling damaged and "repaired" in Kamina air base, Congo. But it did not affect C-54's flying capabilities, indeed. I believe such cases would not be allowed today...at least in "developed" countries.

mija1789 Posted November 10, 2016 Share #8 Posted November 10, 2016 Many thanks Pecole It reminded me of my first flight. That was on a DC-4 (the civil version) in 1952 from Brussels to the then Belgian Congo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
