Was curious about flying the Just Flight Connie and I thought I remembered it was covered by
this program, so my question is, does the checkride need to be done in the DC-6? The ones
I've seen are fairly crude and it would be nice to be able to do the ride in the Connie.

Also, any chance the A2A B377 can fit in here? smile

Thanks,

Jack,

The requirements for the check ride call for the use of the DC-6. However you are most welcome to file flights with the Constellation once you have the DC-6 rating. One of my favorite fleet aircraft in the program is the DC-7, she is a true pleasure to fly.

I do not foresee the B377 Stratocruiser becoming a program airframe since it has no significant history within Delta.
