They did and excellent job restoring her and she looks like new!

Tense moments in the cockpit there, scared, hell no, focused 100 percent to resolve the problem. airmen of the highest calibre.

Красавчик.

Beautiful machine. Just gorgeous.

What a beauty! ❤🤠

The connie is one of very few aircraft that looks fast and graceful just sitting still.😊

That was a lesson in cockpit resource management right there. And their decision making process was superb, especially under stress.

Look at you. Aint you pretty! ❤

So what was the cause of the nose gear problem after all that?

The startup is just pure MAGIC

It would have been nice if they showed what the root cause of the problem with the front gear was.

beautiful airplane but the pilots are rest home material has to be a point where you are too old to fly safely,

I was lucky to see Connie fly over my place here on the West Wales coast, heading for home after attending a Berlin airlift commemoration some years ago, not high up, it was a memorable site.

Is this real or fake

Great Video showing the crews experience in handling the nose gear fault. They did it successfully by memory. Nice job! With USAF markings on the beautiful Connie I'm not surprised AF pilots would react and operate that way. in which the reactions were done by memory and not a checklist. They mentioned a checklist for this situation but never utilized it. Very dangerous evolution. Navy Pilots of the Lockheed Constellation would have immediately broke out the NATOPS Checklist for this condition and reacted accordingly with most likely the same results. Moreover, using the checklist is the better guarantee of success rather than using memory and supposed knowledge of the AC systems. Checklists are proven and certainly more reliable than supposed knowledge and memory, but great video and nice job!

Stop Playing Music During The video , it ruins it , I turned Off , wish I didnt have to , Pity to many vids spoiled by bad editing decisions

The First AF-1. Ike flew in a Connie during his administration.

Best 3 engine airplane ever.

What plane I flew across the Pacific several hops but it's beautiful sleek And pretty fast!!

Not quit the f7f I was searching for but wow

Who was the Captain???

Thanks to all for preserving this American history!

And you never revealed what the landing gear issue was. But you were sure to add some turd music. Do me a favor. Ok. Stay away from making any more public videos.

WHAT IS THE REASON FOR YOUE GOD-DAMNED MUSIC BACKGROUND??????? DAMMIT. YOU RUINED THE VIDEO. SHIT

The most stretched out Wildcat I’ve ever seen. Seriously thought the black and white treaty film brings out the beauty of that Constellation.

Beautiful airplane!

I'm coming back about our constellation in Nantes France, that plane was an Air France plane under the registration code:F-BGNJ,she carried Grâce Kelly, Edith Piaf and many Well knowed people By the end of the fifties and the beginning of the sixties, thank's for following,Stéphane Lorcy, Nantes France.

Hello Steve Hinton,i live in France in Nantes and we have also a Lockeed Super G concerveted in our airport, at that time, she is not flying today,just static exhibition here in France, i 'm thinkin' that it Will be too much expensive To do it fling again but she is looking good and very Nice,Great thanks To see your one still flying, what à Nice Bird anyway,Stéphane Lorcy from Nantes France

Dude that was amazing! Huge achievement! Congratulations!!! 👏👏👏😎

Gear down with 3 greens...no cycleing!

Folks back then could make unbelievable things with a drawing board , a slide rule, and the trusty old machinist's handbook...no CAD...no CNC...just plain ole imagination and trial and error.........now a days, we are totally dependent on China for nearly all aspects of engineering......our foundries are nearly gone, our tooling industry is a shell of what it was even 20 years ago.....make me fear for the future of the USA

I love black and white photography very nice

Who is PIC? Who ever it was the other one should shut up.

F6F-3 Hellcat. 👍🏼

This isn't real it's to animated

That, is a beautiful sight.

That is one sexy broad!

I sometimes wonder what won of these would be with jet Prop Engines.

What is the lead photography plane?

Those old fellas were shitting themselves...

qual o nome do jogo?

tem para android?

Normal: It was the Messerschmitt 262 This one: It wasn't the Messerschmitt 262

What a gorgeous plane

ONE OF MY FAVORITE MILITARY AIRCRAFT...👍😎

Worked along the Sydney airport flightpath when 707's were being introduced. 'Connies' roared over at about 400 ft, 707's much higher and smokier. Everything vibrared as 'Connies' went by.

Get them round pounders to Roswell 2025. The Bear needs to sharpen the claws in some new air.

Incredible!
