That is a great looking aircraft!
As is the Curtiss C-46 Commando.
I got to fly in a C-46 one fine day in SBA.
The crew kept the rear side cargo door open during takeoff so we had excellent and cost effective air conditioning.
We were also able to wave at a UA 737 as we rolled by them to the active runway.
The UA flight crew waved back.
