How many can you identify in the video The airport - most shown - is Sydney - or as it was known back then - Mascot Who remembers the way we used to flight plan - in my case 1970 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Q Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Great flick, John. Really great shots of aircraft now only seen in museums. Brings back memories; as a little kid I flew from New York to Omaha, Nebraska, and Chicago to visit my grandfather, and the planes were the DC3 and DC6. I of course recognize the Connie, DC3,4 & 6. Is that flying boat a Sutherland? The others I don't know. Thanks for sharing this! Ken Edited June 26, 2023 by Ken Q 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing this! Ken Thanks Ken - the FB is a Short Sunderland that was flown by Ansett Airways from Sydney Harbour to various destinations in New South Wales especially to a place on the Northern Rivers called Grafton - landing on the river there If look at the harbour of Sydney - in the flight planning section of MS you will see a "runway" laid out for the Flying Boats - and that is the pic in the video opening 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
