Constellation Photos
The Museum of Flight in
Seattle has acquired a Lockheed L-1049G Super Constellation. The
aircraft was delivered originally to Trans Canada Air Lines (TCA) in
1954, and retired by them in 1962. It was delivered as
CF-TGE (originally delivered as an L-1049C, later modified to L-1049G
standard.) It will be displayed in a glorious place of
honor in the Air Park adjacent to some magnificent other airplanes.
