Talk:Boeing 307 Stratoliner

message: When I read 'shortly followed by one for six' I had to read it a couple of times. At first I thought it meant only one plane from an order of six was delivered. Even though I know what it means now, it is still convoluted. Doubly bad for Australians where 'knocked me for six' means something really surprising. The rewrite 'shortly followed by an order for six' does repeat the word 'order' but is a whole lot easier to read and understand. Or perhaps someone can think of different wording.  Stepho  talk  03:27, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  one for six 

message: Feb'1st, 2016 --  under  the Wiki-   Operational History:
statement  includes  errs,  "...  including KLM test pilot Albert von Baumhauer . . ."
No, von Baumhauer was NOT employed by KLM;
No von Baumhauer  was NO Test Pilot.
See  Transcript of ASB's additional  Public Hearing  of 11May'39.  Included testimony  from  Mr.  H J. VanderReaj  (sorry sp),  who described the background of the two Dutch engineers  aboard the mishap flight.   Van Baumhauer,  from the airworthiness authority of Holland,  had presented an RAeS lecture on S&C testing,  that paper printed in RAeS'  _The Aeroplane_,  issue dated  15Mar'39, "Testing the Stability and Control of Aeroplanes,"  [thus Mr VanB may never had seen his paper in print].  Van Baumhauer  was an A-Licensed pilot (merely private pilot)  with only 116 hours of flying time. 
Also,  see the final ASB AAR, pg 27, "116 hours" as a private pilot; and again later in the AAR, pg-51, Finding #8, and again at the bottom of pg-55. [The ASB's AAR is a poor copy,  here is the PDF  2.3Mb, about 63 sheets copied.] See more: Failure-Interactions     — Preceding unsigned comment added by IGhhGI (talk • IGhhGI (talk) 05:38, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: What is the current physical status of NC19903? Noha307 has mentioned that the modern instruments have been removed and fluids have been drained. The modern instruments are a legal issue, rather than a physical status. And fluids can be readily re-filled - assuming their lack hasn't allowed anything to deteriorate. If it can physically be made ready to fly with only minor servicing then it should be listed as in flying condition. If major parts need repair or replacing then of course it should not be listing as in flying condition.  Stepho  talk  09:41, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Flying status of NC19903 

message: I don't think this can be correct:
T&WA flight tested the modified undercarriage, and in hard landings, easily exceeded the contract's minimum required 500 ft/s (150 m/s) descent rate with a successful 800 ft/s (240 m/s) landing descent.
Does that not have to be ft/MINUTE??? 2001:1C08:6:9D00:569:D716:D5D7:BC77 (talk) 15:58, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
