Your window contraption looks like the original prototype for the Hasbro MouseTrap game.

Ha! Good one, Steve. Window down: crank, lever, bell crank, pulley, turnbuckle, bungee….movement

For us aviators out there, Douglas’ MD-80 cockpit window opening mechanism would put any Rube-Goldberg invention to shame. But works good, last long time.

Onto the passenger side

Cheers
Dave

I still think Discovery Channel needs to put Dave on a show. There must be a lurker on the site that knows who to talk to to make them aware. I would probably watch the train wreck......

Ha! Thanks Charley!

Although I'm pretty sure after the first episode and the ratings plummet along with any associated FCC fines for airing such garbage, I'd probably be banned from being on TV or even watching it!

Cheers
Dave

Since Dave mentioned the MD-80 / DC-9 Cockpit Window mechanism, I had to post a few pix. The green cockpit is of the DC-9, which Dave and I flew together for TWA throughout the Midwest. The gray cockpit is a derivative of the DC-9, the MD-80. Check out the side window mechanism, same for the 80 and -9. I was always amazed by that set up, it worked well. As basic as the DC-9 was, it was a blast to fly.

Sniff…ah, memories, Phil

Phil and I go through recurrent training yearly where we go over emergency procedures when something goes wrong like wings falling and digesting the fish from the crew meal. Anywho, Phil,just happened to post a pic that was our evacuation checklist and we needed to know the actions by memory. You see the numbers, so let me explain the actions in the order of execution

1. Remove scratch paper with slandering drawing of chief pilot from clip holder
2. Discover “On Ground Emergency” checklist on yoke and proceed to run the checklist, but first…
3. Call Flight Attendant and notify them coffee is no longer needed
4. Realize the Captain is senior to you so move the trim wheel to make a noise which scares him and makes him forget the next steps of the checklist
5. Realize this panel was here all the time but not really sure what it was for
6. Grab window handle, pull straightward, the downside right to the back area, wait for click, the rotate frontwise.
7. If Captain is still in cockpit, tell him to grab the “auto exit” button on the window and verify incapacitation after he reacts to 400v AC shock from window heat connector.
8. Adjust lighting to see where yer’ goin’
9. Make sure light shines
10. punch all buttons on this panel hoping in panic mode you hit the PA
11. Verify this panel is in place for some reason
12. Announce evacuation, “Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain. We know you have a choice in airlines, and today it looks like you chose the wrong one. EVACUATE!!! Thanks for flying with and i wish you a pleasant onward journey.”
13. Verify maintained test only panel isn’t in “test” mode creating evacuation
14. Stow tray table to the most upright and stowed position
15. Check adult magazine holder and grab 1976 Edition of “Jugs” and take with. Can’t leave evidence around.

There you have it. Miss flying with ya Phil!!

Cheers
Dave
