Errr, at face value the pics are nice, but................... its actually called "20 incredible vintage planes you can still fly in", THAT is the actual title - and its another fine example of modern journalism, lazy, inaccurate, cobbled up from a few archive pics bearing no real relevance to the title or help to the person that WOULD like to fly in one.

 

No1 - you def won't fly in it, and anyway NOBODY flies in it, the pilot flies ON it!

No2 - Its a Replica - its not therefore vintage, its new - if there IS a real one left flying in public service, tell me where you can fly in it please.

No3 - Been there, seen that! - Its not going to fly, trust me!

No4 - Yup, there are a few left giving rides or in service, so why be so ruddy lazy as to publish the first pic you come across.

No5 - FINALLY, if still not informing anything towards the stated title intent!!

No6 - Lockheed Super Constellation - "this flagship of French Aviation" - Words Fail........................... Lockheed should sue him and CNN ......

(It does not get any better)

 

AND presumably he got PAID for that rubbish!
