Super Connie in flight

[andgate2000]

When theres no oil on the wings...its time to worry.

[skipsassy1]

Old planes old people old stuff. Not a romantic time. Segregation was normal.

[PeterNGloor]

you were shooting from a seat over the wing, but how could you connect to the cockpit intercom?

[Proplinerman]

@PeterNGloor It was being broadcast into the cabin.

i love the oil streaks on the wings. Ole Radial engines are like Detroit Diesel 2 stroke engines......if they dont leak, then something is wrong.

[6V92TA]

gotta love that oil streak. Those radial engines are like ole Detroit 2 strokers......the leak oil all the time! As they say bout a Detroit which goes for most big radial engines, if it doesnt leak oil, something is wrong with it.

[alienhuman]

You don't need to see the rest of the airplane to know it's a Connie. Just look at the oil on the wings! Q: Most popular tool used on a Connie? A: a rag. :)

[socialistcontainment]

What a beautiful old bird. A little oil leakin for good luck.

[eltfell]

The oil streaks show that there's oil in the engines ;-)

[flyboy8492]

damn, look at the oil streaks on the wings. lose a couple engines?

[Proplinerman]

No, just normal oil usage and leakage on old big piston engines.

[TonyFirelli]

@Proplinerman The propellers spin so slow! hehe optical illusions..

[yamahonkawazuki]

@Proplinerman does most of it get deposited shortly after startup?, iwish there were public flights of these beauties

[knifeedge63]

@flyboy8492 there is no such thing as a clean radial!!!!

[flyboy8492]

@knifeedge63 that is actually incorrect, one just assembled in the factory is clean, hahahaha

[jacksinclaircool]

what airline?

[Proplinerman]

It's not owned by an airline, but by a Swiss club, the Super Constellation Flyers' Association.

[gata0705]

where are the Landing ?

[Proplinerman]

Geneva

[diggr13]

the digital camera is shooting a series of stills at either fifteen or thirty frames per second. Try looking at your television through an electric fan at low speed, you'll get the same effect.

[Bloodgod40]

It looks like the props are moving stupidly slowly.

[Proplinerman]

It's something to do with it having been shot on a digital camera.
