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

  • @PeterNGloor It was being broadcast into the cabin.

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

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

  • what airline?

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

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

  • 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.

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

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

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

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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.
