I must admit, Tug...... ;) ....

...that I am more familiar with Astrological Constellations, and occasional Constipation...

..rather than large aircraft, with lots of propellers... :roll: ...!

I still prefer my little Cessna 150 Aerobat....

...it rarely results in uncontrollable Diarrhoea in dangerous situations... :oops: ...!

Paul.... :lol: ... :lol: ... :lol: ...!

P.S...Lovely Shots, Jan!... :clap: ....!

In January 1956 I flew from Paris to México city in a Air France Connie. We landed in the Azores for refueling, landed in Boston because of ice on New York, then Dallas & finally landed in México on the evening of January 6, 1956. A total of 24 hours under the masage of 4 double radials :clap: :clap: :clap:

VNX-8 was in the hangar next to my squadron back around 1970-71 time frame. I always enjoyed listening to those big, beautiful radials and the squealing brakes as they taxied to and from the ramp.
