Hi mate. Didn't bother with any of that. Mainly due to not knowing what the hell to do! Just turned all the fuel lines off and hoped the thing didn't explode before we landed. :lol: :lol:

Note to self: read up on fire procedures..

Looks like a typical flight to me. :lol:

The 377 frequently landed on three engines as engine failure was a very common occurrence. :agree:

Those 'corncobs' were a bear to maintain and the limiting factor as far as aircraft range was not how much fuel it could carry but how much engine oil! It would run out of engine oil long before it ran out of fuel. :-O
