Bataan flew in Chino yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqgZL7z4Nx0
Very cool to see a Constellation flying in the US again.

Good lord that's gorgeous!! -
Yep, I kinda wish I were doing Oshkosh this year so I could see it in person. This is what Rod has been doing with his $$$$$$$$$ rather than playing with a certain Bearcat. This was a VERY impressive restoration. I really hope "Columbine" will be equally impressive when its finished. I'd love to see a pair of Connies in the air at the same time.

I can't do Oshkosh this year, so I am planning to go in 2024. Hopefully Lewis will bring it back.
A pair of Connies would be incredible. Imagine a flight at Airventure with them, Doc, and Fifi.Comment

Yes, a flight of 2 B29s and 2 Connies would be epic! Man I'd love to do a 4 ship air to air shoot with those. 4 silver and polished 4 engined aircraft... yes please.

Beautiful aircraft! Is this why Rod has hoarded all the 3350 low speed nose cases?Comment

Only the L-1049C Super Connies used the slow nose cases. This one does not.Originally posted by Plane Nuts View PostComment

Total bummer that they just missed PRS. Question...When assessing a DQ for "high flying" would you measure from the high or low wingtip to the ground???Comment

Wow this thing is beautiful.

It's all about Sights and Sounds... And What A Sound it has !!! Bataan has been overhead our house multiple times. My best description during it's climb is an Angry Roar !!!Comment

Can it carry passengers...does it have an autopilot ?
Awesome !Comment

Clicked on Flight Aware Friday afternoon in time to see the Connie outbound from So Cal heading north. After a three hour flight she's arrived safely in Oregon for some interior work before Oshkosh. I highly doubt there's time for a complete interior before Oshkosh someone said that would be months to complete , but some will be done.Last edited by John H; 07-11-2023, 11:48 AM.Comment
