What a great memory! My first trip to Aussie was in 1956 on a Qantas Super Connie from SF to Sydney. I still have the little flight bag that I was given, and still remember my invitation to the flight deck - I was 5 years old. That trip took, as I recall, 36 hours with 24 hours flight time and several stops. I remember stopping in Suva in the middle of the night, walking out of the place, and getting smothered by the incredible humidity. Great Video - and Thank You!!!

Years ago Dad gave me his 1955 USAF aircraft recognition manual for the civilian Ground Observer Corps & page 164 says, "The exhaust stacks of practically all conventional aircraft engines glow cherry red from the tremendous heat of exhaust gasses. On some aircraft, flames can be seen roaring out of the exhaust stacks, occasionally giving the impression that the engine is on fire. This is particularly true when extra power is being used, as in takeoff or climbing. In darkenss, this glow or flame is often discernible from the ground ..."

@philip4193 6 месяцев назад

The turbo-compounding system employed on those engines was quite complex and way ahead of its time and thus could be unreliable, which is why Qantas kept spare engines at various airports en-route in order to swap them out quickly when needed & get the aircraft back on it's way to London.

Finest 3 engine aircraft ever built. And like a Harley, if she wasn't leaking oil, she wasn't running. Grab a spare chute for a pillow, your flight jacket to cover yourself (well, cover HALF of yourself), and let the steady drone of the 3350's lull you to a 2 hour nap that felt like6 hours of peaceful sleep. And FWIW, the FIRST "non-medical" female crew members in the military were surveillance radar operations on the Connie, back at the 79th, Homestead.

I respect Australia so much for flying these old aircraft and keeping their memory alive. Here in the UK it is SHAMEFUL that they let very few 'old' aircraft fly - preferring to BAN THEM from being flown at all - such as the Lightning, Canberra, Phantom etc. These are all airworthy aircraft, probably in better condition than when new, due to the immense care and diligence taken to keep them perfect - they will NEVER see the sky again - thats why we are getting out of this place! In the RAF I worked on so many of these wonderful aircraft and it is a great loss to future generations that they will never see many classic aircrft airborne ever again! 🤬🤬🤬😪

Oh Wow! This brings back childhood memories; I grew up only 11 miles from LGA, and under the right conditions one could hear a connie taking off. They frequently flew over our house; the sound of those engines was quite unique and I could identify one flying over without seeing the airplane. Thank you for the terrific video!

I believe this is the most beautiful plane ever made. Also, I also love propeller planes. They have the most beautiful sound. What a piece of engineering and history.
