I was a radio operator on  a C-54. And there ain't such animal either. But regardless, USAF did it on long overseas flights (Maxwell AFB to Pusan, Korea as med evac)

I guess I'm a little late to the party.  Thanks gents, for your service.

I was wondering if someone would notice. I logged flight time on the J model, one of a handful of FE's; as XF, Observer Flight Engineer during Phase I of the Operational Test and Evaluation. I double checked TOLD, provided technical advice (such as reviewing new checklists) and situational inputs (playing ABCC, etc. on the intercom/"radio") while in the center seat. I was also there to prevent CFIT in case the pilots both went "heads-down" trying to navigate through the menus.

Yeah, we had the "heads down" problem on the C-141C when we got the FMS. Got to the point that a couple of "not-so-nice" Form 8's had to be written.
