The pointed windscreen reminds me of the Boeing 247.

LM you are the Man. You have Control.

Some 247s had the forward pointy windscreen, others had a more conventional setup.

Thank you aviate.

In this one, unusually, mehmsab is in the left seat and I'm in the right.

Sure looks like a Boeing B-17, or variant thereof.

But its already been done, according to Mel's list??

OH if correct.

Don't know the protocol for this, but would suggest a relook at the cockpit of the Boeing 247. Looks very,very Douglas, DC 1 or 2, to me. Woods

I agree with Woods. aviate1138's cockpit on page 7998 looks more like a Douglas DC-2 cockpit than a Boeing 247 cockpit.

That's the Tecnam P2006, which boasts a fatal accident rate of around 1 per 25 aircraft built, so far (and they've not been in build very long at all), from the information I can gather.

Open House if correct, though I may pick up my own OH tomorrow if no-one else fills it.

Yes, it is the TECNAM P2006T. Mount Royal University's Aviation Program in Calgary operate 3 of the type.

As requested, it is OPEN HOUSE.

How about the Martin 404? Pretty sure I recall seeing that throttle/reverse pitch arrangement in one I looked at Sun-n-fun a few years ago

Haven't got anything to post, so if I'm right may I declare open house?

BSD.

p.s. what is that in front, a Constellation of some kind?
