I have a few hours in FENECs, the French T28 and unless they were modified
back to US configurations, the throttles where the same as the old B's and
C's I flew.

A Rafele I flew at Empire had a "normal" throttle configuration.

Just my observation of these 2 aircraft. I can not comment if either one
was modified previously.

Hallo,
i know that French;Italian and Japanese airplanes prior and in WW2 had
an opostite throttlemovement than British;American and German airplanes.

I mean that to increase power you had to pull the Throttle backwards and
not forward.
Now i asumed that after WW2 with the availability of surplus British and
American planes to the mentioned countrys this habit was not longer
followed.
Now i read that the French got T28 in the early sixties and modified
them to the COIN-configeration and the reversal of the
throttlequadrantmovement was one of the mentioned modifikations.
Now my question: have Mirages or Rafales or any other airplanes this
oddity also.
Or became it extinct in the world.
Thank You
Max

If not, it should have become extinct!
