Jack Sawyer Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Great shots Martyn! Erik, my 86 year-old uncle told me he flew on one to San Fransisco and when they started the engine he was very alarmed at the flames. He said the flight attendant told him it was normal. I'd love to see one in real life. Don't you wish some billionaire would re-tool and actually make some? With today's improved construction and avionics it would be a dream come true.

Amazing story Jack! In the movie A Hole in the Head somebody tells "I told the flight attendant: Miss, there are flames coming out of the back of the engines, and she gave me chewing gum" I thought this was a joke but it seems to have happened.

I wish I could read German but the photos! What a life that must be, I love the L-39, have them both in the sim. I would love to fly on that Connie in real life. Some people have all the luck.

Cheers Erik and thanks for the video of the Connie. The year I went to Avalon the Connie didn't fly because of mechanical problems but it was at our local Mildura Show back in the late 90s.
