Enjoy this video of a very large and beautiful scale model plane of a Lockheed Constellation taking off and landing. In the air, it looks like the real thing. Link (Via Finkbuilt)

From the same videographer, an awesome B-29 with working Bell X-1 attached (and released during flight). AWESOME.

Reminds me of this eight engine model B-52. Unfortunately, this one goes uncontrolled shortly after hitting altitude and crashes.

beautiful!

if I'm not very much mistaken, this is based on the MATS Connie, until recently in private hands and flown around the country and the world for airshows, etc. (http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://connie.com).

I used to work for that company; this brings back lovely memories.
