Amazon 7 #38 September 21, 2003 I voted for the Connie.. it was the VERY first airplane I got to fly in when I was very little... its sleek design and the feel of the airplane in flight just recalls a bygone era.. concieved in war but the civilian versions were built when times were good and they flew around the world every day. The stewardess were so very nice and so elegant. Today there are just a handfull left of this gracefull airplane Jeanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airgord 1 #40 September 21, 2003 Focke Wulf 190 D model or the TA 152 H. But for the best in big bad ass fighters the Grumman F7F Tigercat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racer42 0 #41 September 21, 2003 Sorry Petey, but after strenuous research. On the part of people a lot smarter than me it was found to be...a Dumod Liner N445DM. Serial # AF 152. It is a converted Beech model TC 45G with P&W R-985 series radial engines. Its the last of three converted in 64-69 by the Dumod corp of Opa Locka, Fla. and the only tripled tailed Model 18. It has a 75" extension added to the forwrd passenger section. It is currently owned by a man from Del Rio and runs freight out of SAT. You can see after8pm over by the Airborne terminal off Wetmore.

cloudseeker2001 0 #43 September 21, 2003 QuoteI'm down for the SR71 too. I saw one up close and personal in San Antonio. It's awesome. Wendy W. They are really cool planes! I have seen two in museums-Salt Lake City and one in Seattle......the one in Seattle is the best, the cockpit is cut out and you can sit in it! One of the engines is cut too, and that is pretty neat as well!
