DC-10 vs. Navajo

[MikeD]

@MikeD Who makes the P-15, and are there comparable trucks like that (in terms of size/capacity) today?

Made by Oshkosh, and a few are still in use to this day, though no comparable size truck has been built.

Dang that thing is huge, although that image doesn't show it's size very well. try this:



@MikeD if you're looking for a new daily driver here's one for sale.

The other big change is automation & remote control, and vision equipment to see through fog & smoke. One person can drive, joy-stick both a high cannon and a close-to-the-ground cannon to get at fires under the wing & fuselage, gear, etc.

The guy on top of the Oshcosh Big Dipper must freeze his B'Goshes off in heavy sleet & wind!

Never heard about that one, was it minor?

Can anyone confirm if AMF salvaged and rebuilt that Navajo? It looks awfully familiar...

It's probably still flying up here. Warbelows has the highest time chieftain in the world.

I can't even imagine the funk that must permeate that cockpit. And I've been is some funky cockpits in my day!

Is it just me, or is there, er...something extremely Freudian about that imagery?

It's too cold for anything to smell.

here's the NTSB report: http://www.airdisaster.com/reports/ntsb/AAR91-03.pdf

Captain killed, F/O severely injured in the KA. The entire roof of the cabin was sheared off.

@Inverted

Is that where the sim came from?

Why is that? I would think with the size of aircraft we have flying around they would want to have all the extra water and foam available. Also, what is the amount of foam/water mix you get out of that? It mixes together and expands or something right? Or am I just crazy? Thanks

Doubt it. The legend is that it was a crashed drug runner, but who knows the real story?

So that's where N3110Ms cockpit ended up.....
