Qantas will have nothing to do with her, in case she crashes, I know cos i was a member and have flown a few times in her......

What it must have been like to live back in the 1940s. Planes with props, big band music, Hollywood turned out good movies and the actors and actresses actually had talent. Everything back then was american made and had real style.

@kilzwes no, not the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp. According to Wikipedias information the Connies were equipped with Wright R-3350 Duplex Cyclone radials. Each engine rated 3,250 hp. That's quite impressive for a 1940's aircraft, isn't it? :-)

@1977niek Pratt & Whitney R-2800?

I flew in a Super Connie once when I was a boy. What a gorgeous aircraft.

@miguelmouta I am a rare person in having been intimately acquainted with Connies--worked on them, flown them as copilot and flight engineer, --and also am a psychologist. How can beauty be explained logically? I don't think it can be done. It can only be experienced.The Constellation is the "Mona Lisa" of the sky. It is the finest example of industrial art ever. Now 55, I've been in love with Connies since age 12. All those Eastern Super Connies flying overhead climbing out from LGA did it!

UNESCO should consider this plane, as well as the DC-3, as Patrimonies of Mankind.
