Thanks Brian

You're welcome, Vance.

I posted more photos of the arrival of the Warning Star on my web site at Air-and-Space.com.

Brian, if you're not already a member, I'd like you to join my Lockheed Constellation and all Military variants Group.  Please feel free to post any or all of your superb Connie photos.

Been wondering about the placement of these photos.  Granted the VC and EC-121 was a military aircraft and they were used extensively throughout the Vietnam and Cold War eras, so don't they really classify as "Warbirds"?  Just a thought.  Regardless of the binning, I am so happy to see them posted anywhere.  Well done to all who have posted the VC and EC-121 images.

I would have gone with a Warbird thread, but this C-121 thread already existed under Military.  It wouldn't bother me if a moderator wanted to move it.

Good thing it was a short hop...

I certainly understand the fascination with modern aircraft. When you're young, it's all F-22's, B-1B's, and 787's. But as the years go by, I've found the older airframes more attractive. Which is fine with me, because they are more like me, or so my wife says

Great subject and I share your love of aircraft relics. Most of these aircraft I have a memory of seeing in flight and that is something that the younger generation won't enjoy unless it's on film. I would enjoy a day trip to any kind of aviation bone yard, the older the better. Wonderful treatment on this Conny Jeff!
