Starter Buttons
It's been over 25 years, I flew the 63 and 73's, but I still know one thing.
When you push that button, you get a nice warm feeling, you are starting
the aircraft that will get you there. The F/E will call the pressure drop in the manifold, valve open, and the recovery, valve closed. I don't remember if there are lights in the over head. Enjoy every second flying that great aircraft,
I was so sad when my company said the 8s are going!
As the joke goes, How many people does it take to change a landing light in a DC-8. One to do the work, four or five to stand around and remember what a great landing light it was.
