    I am the author of a book called Falling Stars which is the history of plane crashes at Shannon in Ireland. I nearly fell of my chair at approximately 40 minutes. A plane shows up called Navajo Sky Chief. This plane was renamed Star Of Cairo and she was lost in Shannon 28th December 1946. It is the first chapter in my boom and is one hell of an interesting story.

    I have almost 2200 hours on the Lockheed EC-121 (the USAF version of the Super Constellation), flying until her retirement in Sept. 1978. If you know ANYTHING about her, you'll understand these comments... if she runs, she leaks, and the Connie is the finest three engine aircraft ever built. And for what it's worth, the United States Navy flew the WV-121 until 1982. And now in my 70's, I still fly her in my dreams. 😊😊

    I remember seeing these and all the propeller planes at San Francisco airport in the late 1950's. As a kid I loved watching the action back then with the propellers starting/stopping, and their sounds, the portable stairways and the passengers. A different age.

  • @aaronb6843

    There's a Constellation that has been wallowing in Germany, waiting for investment to be refurbished and I think Lockheed should buy it, finish the work and put it back in the air for enthusiasts to experience. It would be great PR and an awesome opportunity for folks to fly in a piece of history. It's what I would do if I owned the company. Other great companies have done this and have working versions of early models, like Ferrari and Porsche. Why not an aircraft manufacturer? I know it's much more expensive to maintain an aircraft, but that's why you would fly it from location to location for paid flights, like the Ford Tri Motor that comes through my area every year. 👍

      The current Lockheed Martin has zero interest in commercial aircraft since the L-1011 almost bankrupted them and forced the U.S. government to bail them out with loan guarantees to protect their military programs.

    It’s crazy how fast things advanced back then. In the Mid-50s we these elegant propeller aircraft were norm for with only a few jets in service. It was all about the class and the journey. The 707 was about to be entered in service the next year.
    Then less than 15 years later, nearly every aircraft was jet powered and the worlds biggest wide-body aircraft had just entered service. A way to get across the country and the world fast and efficiently. Air travel also became more accessible.
    That timeframe is just astonishing to me. DC-7s, B377 Stratocruisers, & Constellations were transporting people domestically and internationally to small jets & big giants of all varieties having their own jobs in the industry in the 70s. Only connection aircraft and the once mainline aircraft used in different roles being propeller aircraft.

  • @paulw4310
    @paulw4310 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Though forced out of it's civilian role before it's time due to the jet-age, the Connie still had a remarkable and storied history.

Only people now in thier upper 60's and 70's can remember the pre jet days and what piston engines were like....

    If you know your Connies, then you know the one on static display at the Museum in Dayton Ohio near Wright-Patterson AFB. The Triple Nickel, retired from the 552nd AEW&C Squadron. My late great father was Navigator of that plane from approx mid 1968 to Nov. 1970 flying out of Thailand and South Korea, & home-based at McClellan AFB in California. On his last day aboard just before he retired, Dad signed the inside of his flight desk drawer. A few years ago we asked the museum to check for us (it's a no-climbing-aboard display) and they sent back photos of his signature and the date.

    I never thought that I would have any interest in aviation. I have been watching all the channels on the subject. This documentary has had a lot of times and experiences put out . That and the back ground sounds are not over powering the montolg. I have hearing damage from operating Rock drills for 28 years and the videos that blasted the music . I understand the reason for it . But it's something that most videos go overboard with it. I was a driller and mechanic , powder man . I really enjoyed listening to your knowledge, that's something you are really good at explaining how the planes evolved over the years. It seemed that the planes were obsolete. Now the things look the same as they were in the 70 s . I don't want to go on about things. I tend to so thanks for sharing.

So much technological advancements. They were witnessing history as it was being created right before their eyes. Comparison wise, life is so dull for 21st century people. Everything worth inventing has been invented. We may do inter planetary in this century but it won't be that interesting.

    Kaa Nute Rockne? Pretty sure the K in his first name was silent. His name was prounounced “Nute”. Maybe do some minimial research before you post these videos.

    I guess opinions about style have changed a lot since the 1930s. The narrator describes the constellation as a beautiful airplane personally, I think it is very ugly. Just a difference of opinion disrespected

      That is because you have no idea how many people think the Connie was gorgeous, and yes, you are entitled to your opinion of course, but the Constellation remains a legend of aviation, like it or not.

      You expressed your opinion publicly. do not be “shocked” if it prompts a reply, especially if it does not agree with yours.
      You really have no idea how many people adore the Constellation, and that unfortunately, do not conform with what you think.

      Then what airliners would you consider beautiful?
      Then what other airliners would you consider ugly?
      What criteria do you use?

      I believe you are mistaken, the Connie is one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built, especially compared to what Douglas was building during the same period.
