Beriev-200 EFIS panels Martin Mars’ flight deck. Venerable firefighters are about to go soon.. As they say, ‘to the museum’.

People who normally take seats for doing their jobs in these ‘offices’ - FLIGHT DECKS - wouldn’t probably mind to do ‘a trial exchange’ between the two pictured here.

For example, - I didn’t, in my case, - I rather enjoyed it :) , when I found myself sitting in the 737NG’s right seat one year after I made my ‘farewell flight’ on the Tu-154’s left nest with Aeroflot.

‘Globe - British Columbia’: ‘Last call for the Mighty Mars’ I recalled it immediately when I was reading an article about the venerable Martin Mars planes would be retired after the 45-year service in the firefighting.

Jet Amphibians from Beriev.

They say that it is very difficult to land a sea plane on the ‘glossy water’. Wonder then how it works if you’ve got an amphibian aircraft with ‘glass cockpit‘? :)

Beriev-200 is an amphibian with the glass cockpit

So, this brief post is an announcement for a chat on the topic of amphibian aircraft from Beriev Design Bureau.

Beriev-200 jet amphibian is always a prime feature of the Gelendjik ‘Hydro Aviation Salon’ Hopefully, we’ll have an audience interested in this kind of exchange. I don’t guarantee it for sure, but we might expect something ‘unexpected’ :_)

You folks are strongly encouraged to join this talk,

Cheers,

Clash
