I spent a couple of winters in the Miami area back in the early 90's and would drive past Cockroach Corner often 'by chance' to have a look at the old birds therein. There didn't seem to be any spotters there back then and you could, if nice, be allowed to get close up to the beasts. Why didn't I take photos ??? I recall mostly DC-6/7's and some C-46's as well as a couple of C-97's. There might have been one based at Opa Locka up the road. The old birds flew mostly to South America and would fly out over the port/South Beach area clattering very loudly heading first east and then southwards. I'm off to youtube now ;-)
