flight with no engines

I was speaking to a glider pilot the other day and he mentioned “how peaceful & quite it is without the engine noise, etc”.
I immediately thought…my god.. terror, scream, sweat, get into action quick…no engine power. Time for the emergency procedures!

Besides the Constellation is a beautiful looking aircraft.
Compare the wing form with other Kelly Johnson / Lockheed designs, such as the Hudson, Ventura & Lightning.

I well remember causing double engine failure on a Mosquito by mishandling the fuel system:o:o. There was no terror etc., but I did learn some extra special Polish from my pilot:eek:
