You should have been at UIN to see the low-pass they did down Rwy 13-31 at the end of the day. It was magnificent and had the skydivers out on the roof's of their campers (parked nearby) taking pictures and video.
flew 100+ hours on old connie over Laos 1967-68 with 553 RW... boy, does this bring back memories... went through Kansas City last Fall but they were remodeling the museum so I missed it.. damn!
The museum is open again! Stop by next time you're in KC. They have done a nice job with the remodel. At the annual members meeting in January, they said the Connie should be flying again soon. They're preparing to have it taxi under it's own power, then go from there! I can't wait to see it in the sky above Kansas City again!
ooops, that was 1000+ hours 108 missions each 10-14 hours
I live right down the street from that plane. I should probably pay it a visit.
Tom I have not quite that as the Navy retired the EC-121M Connies we had in my 2nd year of being in VQ-1 in 1974. I moved on to EA-3Bs. Its still holds the fondest place in my Heart of all the aircraft I had the pleasure of being an Air Crewman on.
