This is old, not sure if it's been posted already but worth watching anyway. Tough, American built aircraft, great airmanship by the Israeli pilot. I've had Israeli pilots fly with me and I've flown their aircraft, one told me we (Special Ops) were crazy, I took it as a compliment.

The older aviation crowd may have seen this before.
It was a test crash of a Lockheed Super Connie L1649 ? In Deer Valley AZ. In 1964.
It was something to do with fuel tests, maybe gel fuel.
Watch it several times, look for the two telephone poles used to cut into the wings. There is also a bunker that takes out the landing gear.

Good eye Mike, that is indeed an L-1649 "Starliner" Constellation. The 1649 model, an outgrowth of the earlier L-1049 "Super G" Constellation, had longer wings which moved the engines farther out and quieted down the cabin. Larger diameter, slower turning propellers and larger spinners too. The 1649 was the ultimate piston-engined airliner but the jet age, well underway when TWA took delivery of its 1649s in 1957, had already rendered it obsolete. The Douglas DC-7C was its main competition at the end of the piston-engined airliner era.

Here's a great head-on shot of a TWA "Jetstream" 1649A on short-final to the south complex at Los Angeles in the late 1950s.



And another "Tee-Dub" 1649 comes over the fence at LAX. Note the wider-stance main landing gear and the big props and spinners.

Nice shots Bill. Good info. Those were the days! Wonder if they served decent food in those days?

That is amazing!


BTW, the deer valley landing of that "old" plane...is it now the current site of Deer Valley airport? It sure looks familiar...as I live about 5 miles from there.

Better food than today and with real plates and cutlery. First Class was in the rear of the piston airliners since the engine and propeller noise was louder up front, just the reverse of the jets.
