Wright Flyer/GE Jet Engine

KAPLOK! Who you calling a human! ;-)
[I swear to Kahless that is the only word I know! I even had to Google it to see if I spelled it right]

True. Unfortunately, Kilingons are a fictional creation and everyone gets up at the end of the shoot and goes home. Humans *may* be a fictional creation, but the evidence suggests otherwise.

Unfortunately, I misspelled it. It is with an A, Basler or something like that, or with a double-S or L. Harder to Google without the right spelling.

Even tho radials were retained on the Super DC-3 & C-117s, they were switched from 14 cyl. P & W 1830s to 9 cyl Wright 1820s

Except the aircarft in "Fate is the Hunter" was a DC-4, IIRC. Wonder if someone will come out with a conversion for the Mach 2 kit. :)

I think that (even though I'm buying one) most people are hoping for a MPM or Italeri C-54 rather than a conversion for the Mach 2 kit. :-)

According to my files (courtesy of Jane's circa 1985) BASLER TURBO CONVERSIONS, INC. U.S.A Company is associated with Basler Flight Service Inc. in Oshkosh WS and performs conversions of Douglas DC-3 airframes with Pratt & Whitney (Canada) PT6A-67R turboprop engines. Fuselage is stretched 8.3', wings strengthened and wingtips re-designed to improve stall characteristics. Lighter engines increase useful load.

Didn't they also do a similar conversion/upgrade to a couple of Catalinas for a South or Central American airline??

Sounds like the doctor who gave me an exam the last time I was in for surgery. I'm surprised it still was attached after that.
