Kind of a cool pic. You can clearly see the train stations on the elevated lines and yet the plane is a DC4 like the type used for the Berlin Airlift. A 50/60's era plane. That area of midtown has been populated with modern skyscrapers since the 50's. Those subway lines were put underground as a New Deal Era works project. The Tenements in the center bottom of the pic were gone by 1940. Just amazing detail also....

That pic is from 1939 is actually the DC-4E prototype...E for experimental. The DC-4E is actually larger than the production version. If you notice the tail is significantly different than the production DC-4/C-54. It is similar to the Constellation.

I wouldn't worry too much, snakes and spiders are the equivalent of bears or cougars in North America, yes they are dangerous and could kill you but millions of people go into their habitat every day and with a little bit of common sense bad interactions are extremely rare. Tell your missus to worry about our drivers instead.
Yes, kill them with fire please. Sick. Got the heebie jeebies.

Gaaaaa! Do not want! :shocked:

She looks good for a preggo lady!
