During a leisure flight, I experienced a catastrophic engine failure, both engines went dead. Blame inexperience on this one! Fire went out, but had to safely "glide" to the ground. Good thing this airport was on my flight path... Enjoy!

Well, um, you could have landed in the water, Sully

P.S. I wonder if that odd Radome, located right by the pilots' heads, doesn't cause brain tumors?

Great shots.

I've never had an engine fire in the PBY. Roll Eyes

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

I bet that radome caused me to forget to feather the props Grin

And it was probably the reason why I wanted to get back to Terra Firma instead of going for the water. Maybe I just didn't want to swim back to shore Wink

As far as engine fires, it seems that I really have to pay attention to my gauges otherwise I always burn them up... Patchz, do you fly with the "realistic engines" mode on?

Not on purpose. Roll Eyes
