Excellent set Jack showing the beautiful lines of the Constellation, the type of design Michelangelo would have come up with.:)

Very sad what has happened to your destination over the last few years.:(

Thanks Martyn, I agree and I agree

Well well you naughty boy.....taking a shortcut in shot #3 after seeing that a Cessna is leading the dance near the holding point.

I'm sure you should have waited for your turn if a big plane was the first in the row.

Am I right or not.....? ;-)

 

B.t.w. nice flight.

 

Regards Fred

The virus in small expression is shown in #3 here... (shortcutting). A great idea to fly to Aleppo, I am quite sure I have never seen a post of a simflight going there. The same might be true for your next destination... many thanks for taking us on the ride, Jack!

Thanks Fred!  ATC asked me to cut in front of them, I had to bribe them though! :lol:

A propos Jack.....didn't you see that bridge over the river left of the landings rwy ........ a missed chance ;-)

Ciao Fred

 

It was tempting but the Connie is a lumbering giant, she doesn't do acrobatics...well...good...:wacko:

Well done Jack! Great to see you continuing on your journey! :)

That's a smart livery on the Connie.

Thanks Paul!  It's an  amazing feat these people accomplished back then.

Thanks Gerold, I was impatient, I had get-in-the-sky-itis!  :D

Nice set of your latest race leg here Jack. Also, the Connie is looking right spiffy in these shots ;) Some interesting destinations too.

Thanks Landon.  I don't know if I want to fly the next leg in the Connie or the CD-6.  But yeah, I love the Connie's livery, especially considering I am heading my way to Melbourne.

Lol, looks like the Air Race began when you cut the line to get on the runway first :lol:

Yep, I couldn’t help it, sometimes I get impatient but those jets could easily have gotten there before me.  :lol:

Nice move there Jack, sometimes you need to get aggressive. :D  Super shots! :)

Thanks Adam!  Who wouldn’t love to see this on a real flight when there’s a long delay? :D
