I remember as a kid growing up back in the late fifties and early sixties watching the Connies fly overhead from the school yard on their way to LAX it was a beautiful sound and what a sight it was.

The stewardesses were trained to listen to the engines should one fall off whilst in flight. It did happen a few times

August 1959 I flew on a PNA constellation from Seattle to Anchorage Alaska.! Id rather again fly on a constellation than a Boeing 737-MAX today!

MATS Connie, August 1956, Clark AFB PI to Hickam Field, TH via Kwajalein, rear facing seating all the way. USN.

This is one amazing airplane, I wonder how many are still flight worthy and are not just sitting in a museum

Beautiful piece of aviation....needs to be preserved for posterity. Thanks.

I flew on a Connie once, from Lackland to Chanute, 1967. I particularly remember the oil flowing(yes flowing) over the wing.

My first ride was on a Super Connie Seattle to Anchorage ALASA in 1961. Been on several sense. This MATS plane stopped here in Anchorage on it's way to Korea and my son got to see one . He worked at the airport and I got a few pictures of it before they took off.

Rode a MATS Connie from Tachikawa to Wake , Hickam to Travis 1958. Then on from SFO to JFK via TWA Connie

I have a sticker on my tool box from the TWA save a Connie, Jets are for kids

I think the Constellation is the most beautiful passenger plane ever built, mostly because of the gorgeous S curve of the fuselage, but the triple tail stabilizer/rudder as well.

Such a graceful aircraft.... greyhound of the air 🙂

So now there three that are flying?

When were these flights?

They flew it with the starboard front hatch open?

Anyone knkw what happened to this one?
