Got any pics of the mighty -8 (like your avatar)? It's still one of my favorite aircraft, along with the 727. Sadly, I probably will never have a chance to fly either.

The above is one of our "new" fuel haulers that was nearing completion this summer in Fairbanks. Note that my picture is of a C118 and Stretch's picture is of a DC6B. The way to tell is the flap and gear indicators are combined on the C118 and on the DC6B they are separate.

Very cool pictures!

I might be able to find my way around your DC-6. It's been awhile tho!

Nope. I missed a lot of opportunities to take pictures, that's for sure. My avatar came from FS9. I got a couple hundred pix of various -8s from there! Your best bet is probably Airliners Net.

It's still one of my favorite aircraft...
Ya, mine too. The Connie was the best prop and the DC-8 the best jet. They were kind of similar in a way. Probably why I liked the -8 so much; reminded my of the Connie. They both flew like big trucks !!

The ONLY picture I took was that one in the first batch that has a Connie (that I flew) in the background. I got a bunch from FS9, but that doesn't count! Again.....stupid me for not taking more pictures during my career.

There's a few Connie websites with pictures, however.
