THE SIGHT & THE SOUND : Flight onboard Super Constellation HB-RSC from Basel (BSL) to Paris (LBG)

Daniel's Travel Vlog


This video filmed on HD film tape features a flight onboard the legendary Super Constellation HB-RSC from Basel to the Paris-Le Bourget Air Show, a unique once in a lifetime experience.


I have remastered it and improved the vision and especially the sound from an older version.


This flight took place just shortly after N73544 has been included into the Swiss Register for Historic Aircraft and reregistered HB-RSC.

From this moment, the Grand Lady turned European.

Watch and enjoy with me the Sights & Sounds of Classic Aviation and this very thoroughly filmed inflight documentary.

Thank you for watching my channel.
