I am curious with 2 questions--does all the work at S-A-C get done at MKC? Is riding on the Connie noise/vibration wise more like a modern jet or a commuter plane? Biggest prop plane I've ever been on is an ATR 72, and a Convair (back on Republic several times--loved the art deco type seats with CONVAIR on die-cast aluminum plates on the armrests.
