GVS Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 . Mike Square cabin windows make it a C 118(I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWoods Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Looks like a C54 to me. flown by one great pilot!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3_Super_Bee Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'm with GVS. Square windows = C-118 Another tip, and its just that a "tip" LOL, is look at the rudder tip caps on both aircraft. The C-118 is more "squared off" at the aft end as is the aircraft in the video. The C-54's tip cap is rounded on the aft end...

DC10FE Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 From the exhaust stacks, it's a C-54/DC-4. Don R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFEGeorge Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I've got some FM time on the VC-118A, but never did any of those maneuvers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 As I remember, the C-54 military cargo airplanes had the round windows, and the commercial passenger airplanes had the square windows. There may have been some conversions along the way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HercMX Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 It's a C54/DC4... Note the spinners on the props of the C118/DC6/R-2800... No spinners on the C54/R2000.. Jack.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFEGeorge Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Somehow in my old mind I seem to recall that the C-54 was unpressurized. Might be thinking of something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
