Old Planes

Had an old hardcover book, can't recall the name but it was by two photographers who showcased large classic prop transports (DC-6, C119, etc.) flying around still doing work in South America, Alaska, etc.

Even though by modern airliner standards even "giants" like the C-97 and Constellation are relatively small by today's standards, but those old machines just had so much presence to them. I do miss them and wish more were kept in airworthy condition to see at airshows, etc. Lots of money though to keep them flying
 
I flew a Queen Air trip today to Savanah KSAV. Usually with this plane we're the oldest on the ramp. Not today.
If it's not older than me, then it's not an old plane!
