One of the most sturdy and reliable…i wouldn’t say she was beautiful…far from it!!!

Not quite as elegant a piston driven bird as the Connie, but delightful all the same. Just look at that classic 1930’s wing…:cool:

Tragic. At least everyone is OK but what an incredibly sad end to such a beautiful aircraft. 🙁
