Since the EU regulations making drop down oxygen masks compulsory it has been much more challenging to fly in vintage airliners. I am trying to locate possibilities anywhere in the world. Do forum members know where it would be possible to fly in the following:
DC-4, 6 and 7. Lockeed Constellation.
I have flown in a DC-3, but would happily repeat the experience. While I have enjoyed many viscount flights, its so long ago that I would really enjoy one more opportunity. I know there was one in the US some time ago, flying in Capital colours, but I dont think that is possible anymore?
I know this information changes very quickly, but once I have a rough idea I can make some travel plans.

The DC-4 would be amazing, but as its in the Netherlands I am not sure how they would circumvent the oxygen mask regs. The Eastern DC-7would be incredible, I will monitor this site and see if it is scheduled to appear elsewhere later in the summer.
Thanks to you both for this information. I hear there are some classic planes operating in South Africa?

Re the EU regs, perhaps they do what the rest of Europe does with the exception that is of the UK, they ignore them.
