Yes the condition levers have a gate....but with the amount of cycles I amigine it has, the hard corner would over time not be pointy. Also I assume the captain shuts down the airplane. This would be a pull force to the left every time, which tiny amounts over and over would make the lever arms not so tight to the right side of its travel. I can totally see how possible this could be and without much effort. Throw in 1am and darkness...

The hot air. Some day I'll just land one in a swamp, then tune here to learn how I did.

You didn't mind all the speculation on the last dual flameout incident. Why've you got your knickers in a twist over this one?
Don't fly a BT67 Shim. How do you always mention my knickers? You’re a strange little man.

No idea who the crew was (don’t really care) or their background, but, the throttles on a “real” DC3 are in the middle. Props on the left.....just throwing that out there.

It's just that I worry about you and how wound up you get. Given your advanced age it can be hazardous to your health. But now I see you only get spun up when it concerns types that you fly.

Fuel contamination seems unlikely to me cause they already flew a leg. That thing will fly just fine on one so... And I'd really like to know what happened to the one on the ice too.
It's the same plane that was on the ice!

They are floating this one off the lake Tomorrow and doing engine swaps at the airport

😳 She'll be back in the air soon

Which is very nice for "real" DC-3's, and would not be permitted for the Basler. With the Basler updates being approved under FAR Part 25, instead of CAR 4, it is required that the engine control location conform to FAR Part 25 standards - power levers to the left. The Basler power lever arrangement would be the same as every other Part 25, multi engined Part 23, and most CAR 3 multi engined planes, to assure commonality. I'm confident that the pilots of a Turbine powered Basler DC-3 would recall that they are not flying a piston powered DC-3 - There are differences between the two versions of the aircraft beyond power lever position.

This plane is going to become the most expensive DC3 ever!

I just tossed that out there for interest. Beech 18, Beech Travel Airs, and early Barons also had throttles centre. Probably many more. Beavers? Otters? Methinks so.

That's an actual photo. They really did that to one or two planes.
