I was 2-4 and flew in a "connie" from miami to pittsburg. It was said that if there wasn't a puddle of oil
on the ground under each radial engine, there WAS a problem.

I have over 1000 hours air crew time in the Navy's "Willie Victor" version of the Super Connie. They were used by the Hurricane Hunters out of Miami. I was stationed with VW 13 in Argentia, Newfoundland, Canada, and flew missions out of Keflavik, Iceland. I was there 1964 - 1965. This plane has been restored and is at rantoul illinois. It is one I actually flew many missions in. #141311

The band I was in during 1974-76 had this Peavey 900 board as well, it was a beast for its time. It was driving a pair of Altec-Lansing "Voice of the Theatre" boxes with horns. Vocals only.

I was in a blues band with the very same rig in '81. Those speakers were HUGE.
