From the Warbirds Down Under Air Show at Temora last month





Just screaming, clawing it's way through the sky and claiming everything in it's path.




Sent to me from my buddy, Len. Enjoy.

Tremendous ...

I flew on a Connie once. I was a child, but I still remember the stewardess, the pilot "wings" I got ... the visit to the cockpit in flight ...

God, the world was such a different, magical place ...

Here ya go Bob.........feeling the Connie love tonight..............

 

[Bob Ridpath]

Wow ...

Things were different, weren't they?

I almost want to say "better," but "different" will do.

Connie FE.......when men were men.

And the 1649? Bad ass. Along with the EC-121.

Ah, the constellation... The most beautiful 3 engine airliner in history.

That "F4U" sure ain't no F4U. Love the Connie. First airplane I ever flew in way back as a child.

Watch the video? 'Cuz in the second one down with "F4U" in the title I saw one bad-ass, bent wing, single seat, war winning stallion flying around.

I just glanced at the still beneath the title, Mike. Just clicked on the video, and you're correct. definitely an F4U.
