This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

There never was a seat for the crew chief, and when I was on Journey, there was no seat as he could not do his job had there been one. Once take-off power was set, it was the crew chief who kept and eye on the engine gauges and guarded the throttles.
For a number of years, Sentimental Journey did have the Crew chef stand on TO and landing.
However, about 20 years ago a retractable seat was designed for the crew chief and obtained FAA approval. I believe it is the only one like it.
The designation was changed from flight engineer to crew chief as they were not licenced F/F's
