Tense moments for the Connie over Sun N’ Fun
During the Sun N Fun airshow routine with the Connie, it was discovered that there was a front landing gear issue. Watch the tense moments in the air as these experienced pilots trouble shoot the issue only to discover another issue seconds after landing. The crew, made up of Rod Lewis, Stewart Dawson, Jeff Whitesell, Jim "JD" Dale, Steve Hinton, and John Hinton put their heads together to resolve the issue so the Connie could reliably fly once again.

    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

    Without doubt, there's not a winged ship more beautiful that plied the heavens than the Lockheed Super Constellation. What lines and shape, to stare at it like observing a lovely & sexy female is totally understood by any pilot or man who loves flying machines...all you can say is "WOW."

    Not to be THAT person, but there are clear signs that the co pilot should have left the PIC to fly the plane and not give suggestions, other than the neccessary info required.

    I’m just going to say this . The fellow in the right seat is not being a copilot. He’s trying to be co captain, and making a situation more than it needed to be by calling for this and that , grabbing things on roll out that he wasn’t asked to do by Stewart (the captain). Watching this fellow, I’m glad it wasn’t anymore serious than it was.
