nothing like a connie super g on final, the squawk of the left then right tires as thay make contact with the strip the white puffs of smoke from the tires then the front wheel settles down and another puff of white smoke and now the best sound in the world the four engines as thay idle down. god would i love th hear those wonderfull sounds again. windchaser usmm

Check the air show schedules and websites. There is a Connie that makes some of the shows. If I recall correctly, it was the first AF-1 used by DDE.

A 57 on 6k?! Sheesh. I can just hear it now .. everybody to the back of the plane!

Here ya go... one of the Venus acft that comes down here from Andrews for practice on a touch and go for Rwy 21 at CHO.

Some of the others have been Fla State and Ga Tech football teams, although last year Ga Tech came on a 737 Delta charter. Fla State has about 300 people on their team I think, plus another 150-200 trainers it seems. They might need a A380 soon

I just came back from Ft. Myers beach, and saw a Waco UPF-7 biplane giving sightseeing rides. Now that's cool planespotting. It's called Classic Air Ventures, No web page. They're based at page field (KFMY). 1-888-852-WACO
