Now this was one helluva treat!

Exterior of a fully restored Constellation. First time I have ever seen one up close!

There was no way to get an unobstructed view of her without getting too close and cutting parts off, so this is about as good as I can get

...

Pardon the people...its an airshow Wink

...

After I went through (cost $3 to walk through the passenger compartment, but considering its the ONLY fully restored Constellation with a passenger compartment I would have paid quite a bit more)

...

...

...

That was a big prop lol. Hey I think I see me in the prop cone (kidding)

...

Interior shots will be coming next



 

My life is like the movie Office Space

I saw my first real life Connie at Flying Legends this year. What an awesome aircraft.

I'd say that was three bucks wisely spent Stephen Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
