One of the few remaining flying Lockheed Constellations; beautiful plane - 'nuff said...
A couple of years ago I photographed one of the others, the
"Save a Connie" foundation's
plane at Oshkosh.
Just before coming to Oshosh this year I spent some time taking
pictures of a old Connie AEW plane being scrapped in Florence, S.C. (I only have on-line
photos
of the plane from a few years ago, before it was demolished). After witnessing destruction
close up, it was really uplifting to see such a beautiful example.
A note about the photographs: if a thumbnail picture
is a link, clicking on it will load an image approximately 500x300 pixels
large (~60Kb). Under some thumbnails is the word "huge". Clicking
there will load the original scanned image of about 800x500 pixels at JPEG
75% quality (~200Kb).
