Join us on an incredible journey as the Lockheed C-121A Constellation 'Bataan' embarks towards EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023. Experience an exclusive, behind-the-scenes perspective, captured by four strategically placed cameras, documenting every twist and challenge. Pilot Steve Hinton describes it as “The big airplanes aren’t responsive like fighters, but the ‘Bataan’ has hydraulic boosted controls. Even so, it’s pretty heavy, and for such a large aircraft, the cockpit is very small because of its aerodynamic shape,” Hinton said.

"I was really enamored with this airplane, primarily due to its significant historical background and well-maintained state. It's fascinating to consider its evolution, starting from its initial design and manufacturing, to its present-day preserved status said pilot/owner, Rod Lewis.
