One of my favorite aircraft of all time, i love all the propliners anyway. Last commercial outfit using 'Connies' on freight was Aerochago.

They really are lovely! Clearly it's standard practice to give the engines quite a few turns with the mags switched off to circulate the oil.

I agree. Absolutely lovely. Not a bad line anywhere. Looks like it wants to fly doesn't it?
When did they stop making elegant aircraft?[/i] |
