Kermit also shares some fascinating facts about the bird, including how the pilot must crank a handle 46 times to put the landing gear up.

Fantastic exhibition Kermit I just love those old radials after my one year as a Flight Engineer on the Connie for TWA in 1965 before moving up to copilot! I really enjoyed operating those 3350s.
