John -- I couldn't resist posting this one. Apologies to Shakespeare:
Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow Connie like a colossus, And we petty pilots peep about and find ourselves cleaning up oil spots on the ramp....

John, If it makes you feel any better, there is still one Connie flying down here in the land of Oz. She is a sight and sound that warms the heart and soul....... Read here http://www.hars.org.au/2009/05/the-connie/And some video.....love the night time departure (dusk anyway) [youtube]http://youtu.be/dExlu488bM4[/youtube] and [youtube]http://youtu.be/u2WbzlB6ACQ[/youtube] My hangar buddy is a retired Qantas 747/707 Captain and is actively involved with HARS, and he flies the Connie for HARS on its various flights around the country. It would not happen without the generous support of many people and some big mining company donations. All the best! David.

I'm the only grandson with any interest in aviation so I ended up with all his logbooks and strolling through them sure makes me keep up with my paper one and put details in that someone might find interesting some day.

Saw a friends FB post of the video of its landing at Chino. Can't share it unfortunately.
