Lockheed's first L-model Constellation (L-049) - Part II

Featured Replies

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...!!

Beautiful! Great shotsZ, Always loved the Connie. Back in my modeling and painting days I did this aircraft as freeware with Rey Lopez for FS2004!

   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.
