This photo was taken in April 2005. Aircraft same vintage as a Series 1 80"?

Looks like YouYangs which makes it Avalon.
April 2005 is too a big a clue, that makes it Avalon 05.
Bird is either a Lockheed Constellation or Super Connie but since there was only a Super Connie at Avalon it must be one of them. introduced into service 1951 so that makes it the same vintage as a 80"

That's very impressive goingbush!

YEs I would concur Super Connie.



VH-EAG

Sorry, you got the Connie bit right but way off in Avalon. This one was a 1948 model.... & a long way from Avalon.

Thats So Looks like Avalon,
What about Jeju Island , south korea

[Sleepy]

How about Runway 03L , Nellis Airforce Base USA (or as the yanks say "3L").

Edit: Could be 3R also

Well done guys. It was actually line up at Incheon, en-route to Busan for a paint job & then onto Jeju Island where she/he still rests today.



The finished paint job.



Arrival at Jeju. One of the best trips of my life, & just wish I had got to do the whole Nevada to Jeju instead of just Seoul to Jeju. Oh and if you think Land Rovers leak oil, well this Connie was a master, infact we had to place large buckets under each engine at everywhere we stopped.
