October 31, 20205 yr Folks: Here is the 2nd set of images of the TWA L-049 Constellation, (NC90831) "Star of Switzerland", for the 2nd half of the flight (of Part I), from Burbank, California, to Washington, D.C. It was all a few hours of good fun and learning. Hope you enjoy, too...! Thanks for viewing...!! [JF/AH(L-049), MSE(CO), Drzewiecki Design(KDCA)]

November 1, 20205 yr Great screen shots. Shows the character of the Connie. My first airline trip when I was in high school was from Kansas City to Miami on a TWA Connie. My Avsim Avtar was taken in the cockpit of a renovated and airworthy L1049 at KCMA, Camarillo, Ca., shortly before it was ferry-flown to Europe by an organization named Super Connie Flyers Association.
