Vintage freight dog planes.

You'll see here pics of an actual flying Convair 440. This plane is still doggin it for a company in Laredo, TX. Special thanks go out to Robert from Barker's for letting me check out his planes.
Thats a whole lotta knobs and switches to throw.
This slow 440 has a better GPS than our jets.


I don't even think I could start the beast. That's more levers than I've ever seen. Notice how the Copilots throttle quadrant has very little wear. Whats that tell ya?



Ahhh, the powerful Pratt and Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp. I'd love to hear the 2000 horse power engines rumbling down the runway.
