That's a whole new meaning to "airshow"! A whole lot of American tech, plus one British design.

Thanks for the link! It's the first time I have seen the pic with the labels.

I worked across the runway at AF Plant #4, but not at that time.

Looks like a Mk 47 Seafire, a naval carrier based fighter. Those Rolls Royce Griffon engines were so powerful (2,350 hp.) that they were hard to handle on take-off - swinging to starboard from all the torque. The contra-rotating props helped fix that problem.

Built in the forties, the Super Constellation was the ultimate is modern air travel, until the late sixties, when jets were introduced. The flames you see are for show. They rich-en the fuel mixture to produce this affect. You have a favorite aircraft ? Post a video or picture of it.

I just like the fuel.
