Well, it is the second time I’ve put it up on the Forum within the last month or so . . .
Missed that… meanwhile, here’s another well-known picture featuring TWA Connies:

Apparently that record cover is available as a big size poster. Must get it…

Why are you teasing me so much, Papa Lima? 🙂 That TWA Connie is something I’ve been wanting to see for a long time…

The Super Connie with the wingtip tanks was always my favourite and still is. I can remember seeing the odd Connie at Prestwick in the old days when there was an open air viewing area with tables and chairs and the aircraft parked about 50 to 100 yards away. No airbridges or obstructions and no policemen to move you on your way. You will gather that this was not yesyerday! While the Connie looked beautiful in any colours, I always think she looked best in the red and white of TWA.
