I was on Cape Cod two years ago, and I heard the unmistakeable sound of a big reciprocating engine...I began searching the sky, and this flew over:

I followed the sound of it as best I could, and damned if the thing didn't land just a few miles from where I was. I pulled off the road, and in this large grass pasture area, this is what I saw:

I walked up, walked around them (without getting too close-didn't want to bug out the owners) and they were just gorgeous!

They have even retrofitted some of these with turboprops-they could probably fly for another 100 years!

I know that the Provincetown-Boston Airline (PBA) flew these for many years, but don't think they do anymore.

Appears to be a C-43 with modified engines. They look like turbo-jets?
