Constellation over ADL today?
Can anyone confirm that the aircraft that was joining a late ILS 23 app at about 4:20pm today was a Lockheed Constellation?

Yep thats her!

My hangar buddy is one of the skippers so I might have to grill him about "what goes on on tour"

Indeed,
and now it's parked out the front of the Qantas hangar. Wonder if we'll hear about it in the latest installment of the daily Qantas disaster report with one of thier aircraft shooting flames and leaking oil.

Mate..... if that thing does not shoot flames, something is wrong!
And if its not leaking oil, thats a definite sign of a disaster! It means its run out!
They cart around drums of the stuff, yes drums! Oil that is! But ya gotta love her!

Delegates go up for scenic flights over the town/super pit in the evenings. (Maybe Skimpys go too, I don't know.)
It makes a wonderful sound when out cutting laps.
You just have to hear it. Fantastic.

Pilots don't get to start the engines, the Flight Engineer does that.
Like the Cat she also has an oil crossfeed system from a central tank and to make sure it happens both electric and hydraulic transfer pumps.
Nothing like the sound, sight and smell of 4 X 18 cylinders

Hasher,
Orright 
. Radials do sound good, I must admit.
real aeroplanes... ??? I bet the Super Connie guys can fly the Qantas jets but the Qantas guys couldn't even start the Connie. Real aeroplanes or soft pilots
