In those early days, the aircraft really were designed with style. It wasn't just pure physics and rational design--there was an aesthetic component to the design. Can you imagine anyone designing a three-fin aircraft today? How wasteful! How frivolous! What will the liability lawyers say? ;)

[Propliner1955]

It's a Constellation; not a Super Constellation. Exact model: L-749A (originally this airplane was a C-121A). You should correct the video title by deleting the word, "Super."

Was stationed at Korat Air Base in Thailand in 1968/69 and we had 40 of those stationed there as EC-121s. Heard that sound day and night for a year and never got tired of it.

The Connie harkens back to the days when flying was still fun!

Pilots called the "Super Conny" the world's best triple engine plane. One of the engines usually caught fire and had to be switched off during the almost 20 hours flights across the Atlantic.

What a wonderful sound.

Only 2 or 3 other aircraft are capable of singing that song.
