Flying away over the time...

From my window - Nyon (Switzerland)

Lockheed Constellation
The Lockheed Constellation (affectionately known as the "Connie") was a four engine propeller-driven aircraft built by Lockheed between 1943, and 1958, in its Burbank, California, facility. 856 aircraft were produced in four model variations. It was used as both a civilian airliner and U.S. military air transport plane, seeing service in the Berlin Airlift and as the presidential aircraft for President Eisenhower.

Our military had a version we called the Super Connie --
it was configured with odd looking radomes above and below
the fuselage. It provided early warning and command & control
capabilities during the Cold War days.. Great shots of this bird
that I have worked on in my past as a maintenance tech, Marisa!!

How lucky! My dream machine! Last time I saw one was in 1967, and conditions were not the nicest...
