Macroburst Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 That oil consumption is pure passion- the smells, the speed, the rotor noise- beautiful! Enjoyed the flight & love those radials! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColR1948 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Talking about the oil, When I worked on the ramp you had to be careful you didn't get any oil on your skin especially if it went in your eyes, if it did you were rushed to the fire station where they treated you with eye washes. It burnt your skin so you can imagine getting it in your eyes it could blind you, it is called SKYDROL, as far as I know it is still used today. Col.

Rupert Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Beautiful shots Jan!! And yes, some of my favorite memories of the old Marine Corps Ch-34s and HH-37s was the smell burning oil by those radial engines!! Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

liner simpilot Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Wow some set of pics there Jan of a DC-6. If I was there, I too can smell the oil burning. It is not a radial engine if it doesn't smell and have some smoke. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Jan, I agree with Adam. Any pilot that can land a Peerhoven flight and have the entire aircraft stay dry deserves an atta boy!!
