    I still hope to learn something from you guys and I think what you guys are providing here is invaluable.


    I still doubt that Lockheed would have ducted heat from both engines. As a planner, I’d say that flight is over and a %50 chance of having cabin heat is good enough till the A/C is back on the ground from the levels with a serviceable aircraft.

    Actually getting back to that query - there was a heat exchanger in the right engine (a shroud around the exhaust, similar to GA aircraft) used for cabin heating - in later models the same set up was placed on both engines (I believe the fist block of J models). This also worked the windscreen defrost. There was also an electrical hook-up for an electrically heated flight suit.
