I just want to point out that this is actually an EC-121 type Constellation. The only Aircraft Type code I have found for Connies is "CONI," and it always displays as an EC-121. So, this one really is.

Great shot. I like the Convair on the right as well.

Thanks, Graham! That is a B-36, and I'll post a couple of shots of it, too.
Exceptional!
