There are tons of video on YT but only a few are really worth watching; this is a fine example of what I mean. Beautiful machine properly filmed. Thanks

I can still remember seeing Connies lined up at the terminals at Lambert Airport in St. Louis. I fell in love with them and I've never set foot in one. Beautiful.

All 4 props turning the same way? I thought you got too much torque doing that.

@soaringvulture Hence the 3 vertical stabs.

Beautiful music. Just wished they would go out and fly her after they start 'em.

@krogen42hull198 Have you seen Brucek68's series of videos on the old Qantas "Connie" as she is known. It features the flight of Connie from Sydney to its base 40 miles away. Looking out over the wings watching the props, what a sound as it powers up!
