From this angle the Connie looks fairly small compared with the 737

Great to see classic airliners of the 1960s...the Connie was a beautiful sight.

Used to love watching the Connies taking off from King Salmon, Alaska.  They looked like they were on an elevator.

Great shots, the Connie was a staple in the sky over L.A in the late 50's  to  1963

 

She is still a beautiful Lady....

 

A funny note: You could always know where a Connie had parked....by the four puddles of engine oil on the tarmac. They were serious leakers...!
