Clymer Manuals Lockheed Martin Super G Constellation Connie HoAME Show Vintage Airplane Plane

Without a doubt the most obnoxious, annoying music ever put to an otherwise well thought out and presented video. oh and you can you use most classical music as it is in the public domain. Change the music ASAP because it is not going to help in your efforts to keep this grand lady aloft.

Yes, I have to admit, not a bad video presentation, but the choice of background music is just plain irritating! Why not use Frank Sinatra's "Come Fly With Me" which was recorded in Oct., 1957 when these types of airliners were in their prime. In fact, the cover of the album for "Come Fly With Me" has an illustration of a TWA Connie behind "Frankie" himself!.

Thanks for compliment, I guess...

Music. Yes, as a big video producer, sure, we could just cover every video with copyrighted music and pay the big royalty fees ;-) BTW, I am a huge Sinatra fan.

It was beautiful and still is. And also a nice plane, while engines were OK. :D

It is not Lockheed-Martin, just Lockheed.

We'll have a video up shortly showing engine start up!!!

If it's vintage, classic AND antique, you shouldn't be flying it xD

didn't the c-97 have 4360s?

I flew from SF to STL in 1959 on a TWA superConnie, what a great memory. That plane just floated. I liked the window in the bathroom!

Absolutely gorgeous aircraft! LOVE TWA! I was born & raised in a suburb of St. Louis & if we flew anywhere, it was with TWA -- may she rest in peace & may Carl Icahn get an incurable case of scabies & gonorrhea for ruining TWA! The Connie truly is a remarkable piece of engineering -- made back in the day when aircraft designs were sleek & elegant, not like the overgrown whales that dominate the sky today! This aircraft screams SPEED & ELEGANCE! Truly a beautiful lady! Thanks for posting this! :)

considering aviation vids have ALL the same lame songs, like fly like an eagle or some other bullshit, this is actually a nice change of pace

good to not date the video

great upload

[megatwingo]

Very nice video! Full 5*****!

But....the background music....is a little flaw in this otherwise flawless video.

Why not taking music from the time this plane was in action?

The Airline History Museum is a great facility. Besides the Connie, there are a couple of other planes being worked on. Definitely worth the trip if you're in the Kansas City area.
