That would pretty well eliminate the B-17

The B-17's wing isn't high-mounted.

and B-24. But it fits the
description of the DC-4, 6, 7 and Connie.

It definately wasn't a Connie - it only had one-tail. If anything, it
looked more like a B-29 (but that's obviously a bit much to expect),
so the DC-7 is more likely. I just wish I got a better idea of how
many engines it had. I'm also guessin that, if it was a warbird, it
probably wasn't flying over a long distance, meaning it was close to
its destination and departure point. Though that's just a guess,
based on the idea that an air-worthy vintage aircraft is going to
spend as little time as possible being risked in the air, especially
during thunderstorm season.
