March 27, 201313 yr I always set up my flights with failures of all systems of up to 10/hr. Usually all I get is Cabin Altitude fail or something like that. Today I took off from Dulles to Boston. At about 19,000 on the climbout I got a Flt Cont. & ELEC warn. I usually hand fly climb & descent so AP was off. Scanned the panel and realized that I had lost the right Gen. Turned all to #1 Gen NO help. Lost half of the cockpit. Fuel pumps, FMC, Both IRS's went down. AP worked for a little while then I lost it completely. No cooling for the computers. Cancelled IFR and headed to KPHL. Was close so had to circle to lose altitude for 27L. Set up for Right base VFR. Good looking approach didn't go out heavy shouldn't be a problem. Hit 180 realized I had no flaps. Not going around. Full speed brakes head towards the ground use some effect. Probably one of my best landings. Hit the ground at about 140 Reversers worked great. Included some shots of the panel after I pulled off. Sphinkter worked fine. Thanks, Ron Thanks, Ron Fields
