That is a great image of a beautiful aircraft, nice panning.  I never got to fly in a Super Connie.  About the time I made my first transcontinental flight (1964, LA to Washington DC) The 707 had gone into service.  My brother was flying F101s out of Oxnard AFB in the late 60's, should have bought property in Camarillo then !, but what do you know when you are 22 years old  :(

Thank You ! I didn't fly with a Super Connie, but the Super Constellation Flyers Association (SCFA) in Switzerland is offering flights at approximately $400 (not very cheap) as you can notice here http://www.superconstellation.org/index.php/en/  You have to be a member (for a relative small fee), as the Swiss Civil Aviation authorities only granted a limited airworthiness permit.

Not sure if it counts as flying, but he is definitely in the air.

As I was dallying in Janni's garden an interloper flew in, circled and found nothing of interest and flew out. I squeezed off three frames and this is the one I liked best. I can't help thinking that retractable landing gear would be beneficial.
