April 15, 201214 yr Although this is not the DC-6, it is still an interesting insight into the complexity of flying and operating advanced piston powered propelloer driven aircraft. http://marcbrecy.perso.neuf.fr/DC7.html Enjoy.

April 15, 201214 yr wow very interesting. is am a regular plane spotter in Miami and when the First Lufthansa A380 flew into kmia i was there and this plane and a DC-3 landed just before it.

April 16, 201214 yr Pretty amazing video. I love those guys. Man how I wish I could fly a fifth of the planes they've enjoyed flying. Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you. It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.

I was there too, I also spot at KMIA!!! Fernando B ( I know I misspelled Boeing, I did it on purpose to make it Unique )
April 16, 201214 yr Thanks for sharing!! Interesting video... Come to think of it, I have kind of forgotten about the upcoming DC-6 until you reminded me with this! ^_^
April 17, 201214 yr Great stuff. The comment that it is completely different than the 6 (presumably the DC-6) was interesting, as was the comment about the Flight Engineer. It will be interesting to fly a PMDG sim without a flight engineer. Doug Orvis PP-ASEL-IA (USA), Based at KHEF Picture courtesy of Kyle Rodgers
April 17, 201214 yr How different are the dash 6 and 7? I noticed JustPlanes have a DVD using this same aircraft I believe and I was thinking of purchasing it to learn some more about the systems as the PMDG DC-6 nears release. Rich David Andrew - desert based - a330/350 rated.

I noticed JustPlanes have a DVD using this same aircraft I believe and I was thinking of purchasing it to learn some more about the systems as the PMDG DC-6 nears release. Rich Sry, it seems as if you have mixed together 4 aircraft :LMAO: PMDG is modeling the DC-6 http://en.wikipedia....ki/Douglas_DC-6 and the aircraft similar to that one is the DC-7 http://en.wikipedia....ki/Douglas_DC-7 (not 100% sure) The Dash 6 is actually the Twin Otter http://en.wikipedia....HC-6_Twin_Otter and the Dash 7 is this one http://en.wikipedia....d_Canada_Dash_7 which have nothing to do with DC (Douglas Corporation). Hope this clears your mind Regards Manfred EDIT: The Dash 7 is quite similar to the Dash 8 that PMDG wanted to develop, but have delayed indefinitely. Manfred G. Ships are cooler that you think.

Hope this clears your mind Regards Manfred EDIT: The Dash 7 is quite similar to the Dash 8 that PMDG wanted to develop, but have delayed indefinitely. Seems you have been confused with how I phrased the question. I meant dash 6 as in DC-6 or dash 7 as in DC-7 not the Twin Otter. For example if we were talking about the 737 I could say the dash 9 is my favourite meaning the -(dash) 900. Rich David Andrew - desert based - a330/350 rated.
April 18, 201214 yr Other than size? The -7 is bigger. Do they both have engineers? I thought the -6 was a two pilot aircraft until I saw an ad for a dc-6 flight engineer position. Lee
April 18, 201214 yr It depends on how the cockpit has been modified. Like the 727 used to require 3 and now most have been reconfigured for 2 pilots. An aircraft with a required flight engineer station now adays is like a finacial ball and chain tied around the tail. I for one am looking more foreward to the DC6 than anything right now. Marc Lynn

Rich woops, and I thought that I could contribute with something smart :P Sorry about that, I should have figured it out by myself that my interpretation was too wrong, especially with your DC (dash) 9 avatar ^_^ Manfred Manfred G.

Anyway anybody know the differences other than size between the DC-6 and the DC-7? ^_^ Rich David Andrew - desert based - a330/350 rated.
