In-Flight Fire – Maybe in the Rear Engine You Can’t See

[jchronic]

Guy -

In my case, it would be keep the olive drab side up; the airplane in warbird paint is mine.Bought it last fall to do some marine survey work here on Cape Cod. Two owners ago had it dolled up like a replica O2 and the guy I bought it from (retired USMC COL) kept it that way. A 'normal' repaint is on the agenda this year. (Per my questions on another thread)

For everybody - back to the fire in flight/smoke in the cabin theme - something else to think about while you're getting the airplane safely on the ground ASAP is taking some smoke evacuation action: Maybe opening the pilot vent window, having a right-seater crack the entry door, a passenger crack the baggage door, etc. You pressurized guys might want to dump the cabin and get some air flowing through when able. Each situation likely to be a little different.........
