Know that feeling - there's a Lockheed Constellation preserved near here by the Save A Connie foundation. Not too many left. It used to be displayed prominently at the Kansas City Downtown airport, but now it has a place indoors. Occasionally we would see it flying (it hasn't flown for a decade or more now). It flew over the house once not long after we were married and I shouted "It's that Connie!" and ran out to see it. It flew right over! After coming back in, huge smile painted on, she wanted to know how I knew what it was. "Nothing else sounds like four 18-cylinder radials!"

Yeah people in my neighborhood think I´ḿ strange when I see one of them fly over and I´m pointing at the sky and making a ruckus.
