Jesse C. Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 I got to see this one in person today. Not sure why but Connie is just sexy as hell to me. It sure is! 2 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 It sure is! The one super screw up Lockheed made was that the cross section Constellation element varied with each increment of distance along the length of the fuselage. You could not stretch the length without redesigning the whole fuselage! Boeing's aircraft [including their beautiful SST] allowed for incrementing the length [and in their SST the width] simply by inserting tubular inserts. Nevertheless the Super Connie was a beautiful plane. Go see the "Save a Connie" at the old Kansas City Municipal Airport for a hybrid freighter conversion with all grades of vintage passenger service replicated! Including service ware silver and china.

paradime Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Blue Angels are ripping the shit out of the sky over SF this weekend. I was sitting in a therapy session with a client today and it literallly sounded like they were 50ft over head. I'm sorry, what was that again. You still blame your mother for how your life turned out? 1 Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Catalina PB[2?]Y There is a beautiful example of this series wrecked on the East arm of Diego Garcia . It was thrown there by one of the very rare Typhoons that reached the island. Normally Diego Garcia is off the Typhoon / Cyclone track. Quote Link to comment
