Aztec

Duck Pilot

Yes I remember the single hyd pump!! OMG what a nightmare. Great fun at night in IMC doing an approach!!! Enjoyed the E and F models who had the "optional" 2 pumps. Aztecs looked like a bulbous old bus but by gee great load carrier and good earner.

Agree the fuel management system was simple. They had a nitrogen bottle under the seat to blow the gear down too. Did it once....
