Recently I saw a program about P2V Firebombers in Montana. I was surprised to see that the engine controls were “overhead” as in the old flying boats. I guess this must have been some sort of tradition at BuAer back in the day. Wondering if even the P-3s are still rigged that way?
Now if I only knew how to make things like this a hot link.
Short answer, no. Power levers are on a center console.
The overhead is full of engine instruments. Flight engineer territory.
Probably pictures of that, too, around somewhere. Dozens in my cruise albums.
