Butch Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I remember this Super Connie well while it was at NAIA, sat all forlorn in the corner and I have some pics soemwhere of it while we were taxiing and taking off years ago. My biggest regret is that the wife has a good friend who works at the Airport in Customs, and she was going to arrange for me to have a look around and take some pics way back , but it never materialised. Still, good on the Qantas Founders Museum and Qantas for their help in this, along with those who took the work on itself. https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/qantas-super-constellation-restored/index.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyhog Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 The Breitling Super Connie was at Zurich for a while when I worked there in 2002-4. Needed huge drip trays under those engines! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob lt Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 My first flight was in a Constellation, London Luton to Perpignan in France with a 4 hour coach journey to Calella in Spain, probably around 1962. An early package holiday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
