A "5" star photo... and it's easy to see why the Connie is considered the most beautiful of airliners ever built!

I second that cliff...great photo of a graceful bird...thanks!

"They just don't make'em like they used to." I knew I was born in the wrong decade lol.

For your info I saw her yesterday on her home base tarmac at LFSB, when I was in the Tower. it's a very elegant aircraft.

Back in the late 1950s - early 1960s I used to schedule travel to fly on as many different aircraft as I could. Always regretted that I could never find a trip using a Connie or a Super Connie, although I've heard they weren't the smoothest or quietest aircraft of the time.

Forgot to ask - is she gliding or was the photo taken with an incredibly fast shutter speed?

Aircraft designers will have their work cut out for them trying to come up with a nicer looking bird.
