• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Flying the Northrop P-61 " Black Widow" Night Fighter (1944)

WarChild (Pam) this ones for you. Hope you get well soon as you are in our hearts and prayers......

I saw this video (approx 28 min) and thought of your beloved P-61. This video contains all the detailed minutia to do a preflight
check take off and landing of the P-61. As I was watching the student pilot flipping this switch and turning that dial, I was wondering
if your P-61 will offer such cold start details as this video depicts or can we just get by with a CTRL + E? :friendly_wink:

The narrator in the file claims the P-61 "climbs like a homesick angel" and "climbs like a monkey"......

I was very impressed and learned a lot on all the preparations required to start and fly this bird. Good info here.

 
i have this set of DVDs,B26,B24,B17,P61,P47 and another i cant remember,and im to lazy to go to the bedroom and look....
