Lockheed YC-121 Constellation(Turbo Connie)

Fri Dec 07, 2007 1:52 pm

Dear All

I am a newbie to this forum.Actually I am looking for some quite old informations

I am Beta Tester for a flight simulator plane(FS2004) an Turbo Connie with the code YC-121 (or for Navy R7V-2) 4 planes were made,one made a speed record for transports.

None survived(sorry I know I am in the wrong forum) but these were the fastest versions of the legendary Constellations(708 kph)

Does anybody have any kind of pictures about the cockpit layout?
Particulary the engine instruments in front of the throttle levers?
How was the engine instrument layout on the Flight engineer panel?
Do anybody know anybody which served at the 1700th test unit at kelly AFB.

They were the testers of this prototypes,to help us with above questions

I know it is 50 years ago,but,maybe somebody is still arround

Thanks

Godspeed
