117k Inuyasha8215  11 months ago

The Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation is an American aircraft, a member of the Lockheed Constellation aircraft line. The L-1049 was Lockheed's response to the successful Douglas DC-6 airliner, first flying in 1950. The aircraft was also produced for both the United States Navy as the WV / R7V and U.S. Air Force as the C-121 for transport, electronics, and airborne early warning and control aircraft.

The L-1049 had some 550 improvements and modifications compared to the L-749, including greater fuel capacity, rectangular windows, larger cockpit windshields and improved heating and pressurization. The L-1049G flew on December 17, 1954, and entered service with TWA and Northwest in 1955. Over 100 L-1049G aircraft were ordered by sixteen airlines. The nickname "Super G" (first used by TWA) was later adopted for the L-1049G.

    I made a full flight from Wright to Avalanche. Definitely worth using for stuff like that. (Especially while listening to country roads)

    A very nice build! Although Quantus Airlines passenger service is no much better than United Airlines.

    Having a tough time deciding what's winning me over on Connies, the beautiful curves or the powerful prop engines.
