Why was I born too late to experience aircraft like this !! I would have lived at airports just to watch them !!
The sound is superb, much better than jets !

@andgate2000 That was basically what I've been told - but it was restored in Arizona and then flown down to Australia.

@klausb48 Actually this one was never a qantas plane...it belonged to the US air force serial no 54-0157 and was found in Tuscon in 1990.... flown to oz in 1996 and restored.

@7772go Correction. VH-EAG s/n L-1049C-55-81 was accepted by QANTAS on 28 March 1954 and flew continuously until March 1960 when it was leased to Malayan Airways. The aircraft above,S/N 54-0157 which was re-registered as VH-EAG, was originally a USAF aircraft attached to 1608th Military Air Transport Wing based at Charleston, South Carolina. It never went near South America (unless the CIA took it there).

@klausb48 Actually it wasn't ever delivered to Qantas. It originally flew in South America.,
