Last one to post in this thread wins!
When in the US Air Force in the 70s I was an inflight radar technician on the "Super Constellation" or "Connie" EC121.
While in Keflavick NAS Iceland our fleet was grounded due to a crash and fire (a whole other story) and the british 8th squadron came to take over our alert duties with the Shakletons
Four Rolls Royce V12 engines , each with two props counter rotating. I got to not only fly with them as an observer, but since their Aircraft Commander was also an instructor pilot, he let me fly the plane. I'm not a pilot, and that was a thrill of a lifetime. Reading the stories from you guys brought back the memories. Thank you!!
