An unexpected surprise! On this day I was driving from LAS to LAX taking a slightly circuitous route in order to call in at Mojave and see all the stored aircraft there. The onward route to LAX took me past Lancaster CA. As I got nearer, to my great surprise, I saw the unmistakable and amazing sight of a Constellation, Furthermore it was flying circuits! It turned out to be N73544 doing some crew training prior to its eventual trip to Switzerland the following month. Little did I know at the time that just over 2 years later I would fly on it through the Alps from and to Geneva.
