ColR1948 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 The Caravelle looks nice but horrible to load, I remember working the Air France one that used to fly in to EGCC, it used to carry a spare wheel in the rear hold. Sometimes it deployed it chutes on landing and the engineers used to go mad because they had to fold it and put it back, apparently it wasn't easy. Col.

liner simpilot Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Thanks again to all that responded to my post. Just like you all like my giving info, well I like reading all your stories about either your working ground crew or passenger on the old Caravelle. I forgot about UAL having one, I wondered what were they thinking as they always used American A/C companies. As I read Col post, I thought I saw a chute to slow it down. Was that on all Caravelle's or just Air France. I did search and found it showed Air France with a chute. I can see your point as it would get old folding that chute putting it back in it's compartment. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviajoe1 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Sorry for replying so late ! I just discovered your post today. All Caravelles had a tail parachute as they had no reverse on the engines. So chute was there "in case of".. After landing with parachute openinc, the mecanician unhooked the chute and put in the tail compartment a complete kit with a well folded parachute inside, ready for next use. The used one was freighted back to the workshop for correct folding. I'm working on a Real caravelle and nobody could ever fold the parachute correctly ! It had been used in 1981 during the last landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner simpilot Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 Thanks for the info very inresting reading. At times that had to get real old repacking the chute. I cannot believe that that plane had no reverses, thought all planes did even back then. I see in your post that you are restoring a real Caravelle, I didn't think you can still find them. What is the paint scheme going to be? Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
