I can't compete with the level of editing talent at ScreenShot World, but I like to enter anyway.

Thanks for looking.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Wow Larry...awesome... Wink

Lightning or Atmospheric Electricity is awesome to see when flying in adverse weather along with the ice flying off the props and hitting the side of the aircraft fuselage.

In the DC3s, 4s and Canso we flew on regular schedule flights I would take a walk through the passenger cabin if the weather was bad while my number one showed me his flying skills. It was just a way to take the passengers minds off the situation and to reassure them everything was okay.
It was also another way to show your crew you had confidence in them... Wink

To bad the front end crew has lost that ability to speak with the paying public... Lips Sealed

Sometimes when the ice hit the small door just behind the cockpit on the port side of the DC3 it would sound like someone wanted in and were outside hitting the door.

I would joke with the passengers about it being someone who did not have a ticket and I couldn't let them in... Grin

Sorry to ramble on again Larry but pictures do activate the old grey matter once in awhile... Grin

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
P.S. Yes it has just been announced by the American FAA and Transport Canada...there will only be one pilot on all Commercial Airliners...but there will be a dog...
The pilots job will be to feed the dog...
The dogs job will be to bite the pilot if he touches anything... Grin

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Thanks Doug.

Gee, I never thought about the crew not being able to visit with the passengers anymore. Sad, but true.

That is the funniest airline joke I have heard in a very long time. I really wish my Dad was still around so I could tell it to him. He would have loved it.

And you may be right about no pilots in the future. But I ~~don't want to~~ will not fly without one.
