What a beautiful looking aircraft. The livery looks fantastic! I want to fly it!
I agree, Malcolm. Beautiful airplane, beautiful paint scheme, and the engines sound great!
Stunning images of a classic airliner – Well Done !!!
I saw this week the arrival of the plane at San Juan International Airport. it brought me fond memories of
Eastern’s fleet specially the Constellations and the Lockheed Electra’s. Those original colors were my favorites. I hated when they changed the colors for the DC-8′s and others..
I even remembered when the Connie’s flew out of the old Isla Grande Airport, where they flew over the
bridges connecting old San Juan to Santurce.
