It was part of the deal when we put up the MATS Connie crew for a weekend... Mary and I both got some dual with Frank Lang, the 82 year old pilot of that grand old ship. Which, incidentally, is now on static display in South Korea, never to fly again.... :-( -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

The First Thousand Hours

fly again.... :-( Why for heaven's sake? Were the times runing low on her? ...and why Korea? Korean Air Lines used to fly Connies. They've bought the plane, and stuck it in their museum. Here's the story: http://www.conniesurvivors.com/1-mats_connie_korea.htm It's awful to know that I'll never hear those awesome radial engines again. I've flown on that plane twice, and I'll never forget that sound. Here are some pix from that last flight: http://alexisparkinn.com/mats_connie_flight.htm -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

You definitely did that on the cheap - I recall reading years ago that plane was kept out in the southwest after Travolta sold it and for a measly $4000 you could get an hour or so right seat time.. Wooly
