Connie "Props" (Pun Intended) to you Ken - Wish I could have been there with you to shoot this one!

Almost 75 years and still going strong - Respect
To say the least Doug, you take the cake. Talk about bad form, pot calling the kettel black.
My first flight on an airplane was on a"Connie".Beautiful aircraft.
hey Doug Irvin , at least Conny engines did not whine !!
The EC-121 was the designator for an early warning command and control/surveillance aircraft. MacArthur used a VC-121A aircraft, a type that was frequently used for VIP transport, a variation of which was used as the first “AirForce One.”
what a very beautiful aircraft.
Bataan taking off from Ft. Rucker (it was in exhibition for many years)
Doug Irvin - more than 1 negative posting in a week..... BAD FORM!!!!!
I was about ten years old in 1959 when my Father took the family on a Constellation, I believe TWA from LAX nonstop to Miami. I was stunned by the flames coming from the engines on a night take off.
Thanks Dad. Such a great photo Ken.
Thanks Dad. Such a great photo Ken.
The most elegantly designed commercial airplane to have ever taken to the skies. Its gracefully curved fuselage bears a striking resemblance to organic forms."
Another classic; thanks for sharing.✈️
We're making more of Doug than he poorly does about the pictures! Isolate him and just don't respond is my approach
Doug....one bad thing about the anonymity of the internet is you can still live in your parents basement and make snide comments about a peron without looking that person in the face.
Lovely!
Douggie talkin' "bad form"! BWAAAHAHAHAHA !
What a beauty!
Beautiful airplane! Remember my childhood.
As soon as that came up I said, "Is that a Constellation?" What a beautiful aircraft!
Most fave A/C regularly flew in Air France Connie’s Paris Dakar back in the day
Too bad don’t know how to upload photos!

Hey Doug…Real men appreciate beautiful aircraft & don't piss, bitch, & moan every time one appears on the feed. Grow up & act like a grown MAN for a change……
Love to see it fly!!
