Super Constellation Flight with Authur Godfrey part 2

Both the Lockheed L-1049-C, and the Boeing Strato Cuise, had problems of failure in the engines. The plane, Boeing has had several propellers and engines torn by imbalance caused by the propellers. The most serious accident occurred in Brazil in 1952

The situation turned more serious on April 29, 1952. On
that date a P.A.W.A. Stratocruiser N1039U crashed in dense
Brazilian jungle with no survivors. Although the main
wreckage was located, No. 2 engine and propeller were
never found. Examination of the remaining pieces of No. 2
engines mount showed its failure was due to application of
forces beyond which it was designed. The cause of the
engine separation was probably an unbalanced propeller.

In the commercial L-1049 C, as Meryll off the three engines, the plane should be no passengers, that the drag provided by the helices of the three engines was stopped too long, it must also have very low power single engine that was working. But without a doubt the connie was the most elegant aircraft ever bu

The first company to use the Connie in Brazil, was Panair OF BRAZIL, an airplane crash on July 28, 1950, the city of Sapucaia do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, the crash killed all 51 people traveling in the aircraft, which crashed into a hill in a series of communication errors crew with the tower of the airport of Porto Alegre.

In Brazil, VARIG bought three four-engine Lockheed L-1049 g and Super Constellation on 2 August 1955, the first flight to New York took off from Rio de Janeiro, with stops in Belem, Port of Spain and Ciudad Trujillo. Later the route was expanded to the south, starting in Buenos Aires

thanks!

Yeah, not to mention the flight crew smoking!!

Wow, I just noticed this the second time I watched this video. Look closely at Dick Merrill's mouth when Authur says "now it's time for a Chesterfield". It looks like Dick is saying it right at the same time..Very strange.

the co-pilot looks about 85 years old and he doesn't even smoke!

lol yeah it's almost like he was mouthing the words so he would be ready for his line.
