Just thought I would post the links to the flight of a EC-121 from Camarillo to the Yanks Air Museum, Chino earlier this year, for no other reason than its fantastic.
The aircraft had not flown for 15 years and took seven years to make it airworthy for this one last flight.

In the second clip, after touch down, a upper wing access panel opens then slams shut. Also note the oil leak down the fuselage side.
Amen for good online video and big piston engines.
