Beautiful a/c. Thanks to Breitling for sponsoring the 700,000€ annual maintenance bill. Whew!
My how things change. The first one flew in 1951 48 years after the Wright Brothers.
I think this one rolled off the line in 1956- 53 years after the Wrights.
That was 58 years ago. What will another half century look like?
How will our standards of A/C beauty change?

One of my favorites. Beautiful aircraft.
Most enjoyable. Thanks!
I was always a Douglas fan but I'll admit after watching this video that the Connie was much more beautiful.
I guess in those days it was Douglas vs Lockheed rather than today's Boeing vs Airbus.

flew 1000+ hours on "Connie" mostly over the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos late 1967-late 1968 -- this brings a little tear to my old eyes...
