    old bird over brisvegas this morning

    anyone know what the old 4 engined bird that flew over brisvegas this morning?

    i heard it and rushed out and the fleeting glimpse i saw looked a lot like a super constellation but really didnt get enough of a look to tell for sure.

    No, though HARS do have a"Connie" - a Super Constellation. It's (last time I saw it) white with a red strip down the middle - like the Qanats livery of the time.

    If it was a large four piston engined airliner it probably was the HARS one, as Vlad suggests.

    On the other hand, another possibility if much smaller, is a DH114 Heron - I have an idea there is still one flying in Australia.

    Didn't see it, wish I did.
    Might be the Connie, it's supposed to be at the Williamstown Air Show this weekend. Maybe it was en route, or up here for the day?
