These are some *really* striking screenshots, Aharon.
Check out my Box.com account for this aircraft's sister: HI-620CT.
There are also the DC-6B's and the one DC-7C that they flew available as well.

Jorge and Ejoiner,

Thanks for your kind words!!!!

Ejoiner, I did not realize I would be unknowingly creating a perfect "breaking through the sound barrier" screenshot!!! LOL I was just creating screenshot showing the Convair plane emerging out of clouds after flying through those!!
