I've been watching this sight for a couple of months now, so I figure it is now time to say hello and join the crowd. Retired from the USN as an ADC P3 flight engineer about 17 years ago. Last year officially retired from all work. Except what the wife wants done. It is a good thing I'm retired or I might run out of day. Take care every one of you and God bless.

Thanks a million for all the greetings. I started my Navy career as a recip mechanic on the EC-121 Super Connie. What an airplane. Best thing I ever worked on or flew in - bar none!
A real airplane with four big round motors

You are indeed a lucky man to have been able to fly on one.I have heard stories as to just how good an airplane it really was.
