From: "Dudley Henriques" Date: 1/10/04 12:47 PM Pacific Standard Time Art on the other hand, has been in a position many times where he might have had to land a B26 himself. (Never hurts to cross train on a bomber crew you know :-)) Interesting you should bring that up, Pauk gave me a lot of stick time whenever possible. FIrst straight and level, then hide and seek around clouds and finally touch and goes on cloud tops But what surprised me was how much muscle it took to fly that B-26. It was real work after a while. I figured he gave you a few hours. I would have! Life insurance for smart people!!! :-)))) I can imagine how much of a handful the Marauder was. I've flown the B25 and the F7F Tigercat. They were a handful for me. I can tell you that even working an AT6 for seventeen minutes straight in an acro demonstration is about the same workload on your arm as lifting heavy dumbbells for an hour. I used to need a rubdown after every flight that involved heavy control use. Oh well, those days are gone now. These days it's YARD WORK!!!! Argggggggggghhhhhhh!!!!! :-) Dudley |

Subject: Power on the flareout.
From: (B2431) Date: 1/10/04 6:38 PM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: From: "Tom Swift" Date: 1/10/2004 1:24 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: Is this the Comedy Channel? Hilarious stuff though, a Pilot discussing the relative methods of landing an airplane with a Bombardier. Really funny. A bombardier with a bunch of experience in a B-26. If he says he heard the engines do something then he heard them. The odds are he has a very good idea how everything in the aircraft worked. Dan, U. S. Air Force, retired Well almost everything. (grin) Of course every member of the crew becomes very sensitive to every sound and is familiar with every sound.If a sound changes with no reason, your heart beat goes faster and your blood pressure rises and your adrenalin pumps. I remember that if Paul or Bob let the R-2800's go even sligfhtly out of synch we would get that annoying beat frequency sound and I would wonder what the hell is happening in the cockpit, aren't those guys paying attention., But they always were and all got synched up fast. Look at it this way. You are sitting in the nose of a Marauder. The sun is beating in the Plexi and the temperature is rising. It is getting really warm. Then the engines creep slightly out of synch and you get those droning beat frequencies. Try to stay awake. It ain't easy.
