3 engines out was done in an unloaded ...different story loaded. Still pretty impressive. My Uncle worked on these ships for Qantas back in the day. Messed his lungs up with all the solvents and such required to overhaul those radials.

Ohhh those were the days...Some pilots used to puff a pipe on the trip. That had to thicken up the air I bet !

Although I do have to say that I wonder what the reaction was of the passengers when they looked out the windows and saw three idle propellers. Nice of Eastern to demonstrate the a/c's capabilities without giving any thought to passenger safety. Yes, I know, the passengers were filmed in a studio...still, makes you wonder what Eastern was thinking...

@nolifemerc No, I wouldn't smoke in a "SEALED" compartment filled with oil and gasoline, nor would they and nor are they. The gas and oil are in tanks in the wings. The crew is in the cockpit...DUH! Time for you to hop on the short bus and get back to school. Generally speaking, unless you are at the controls of a flying gas station like a KC-130, you are in no greater danger smoking in the cabin or cockpit of an aircraft than you are in your own car.

Now that's a REAL airplane. Jets are ok for get'n someplace fast but it has to have 4 round engines to be a REAL airplane. I love the Connie!!!

Godfrey, for years of radio & television, pushed Chesterfield Cigs but severed the relationship with them when it was discovered he had lung cancer. True.
Ja, ja, ja, ja The crew is smoking!
