Nice shots, good thing the engine didn't fail.

No, Air Cargo Express only gets that problem with their DC-6s, not the C-46. Just about a week and a half ago I got real world photos of one of their DC-6Bs that blew 2 cylinders on the #1 Engine less than 5 minutes after takeoff , came back around and landed on the other 3.

Back in the 40's and 50's C-46's blew a lot of engines and crashed.
