Constellation CF-TGE
After
paint stripping, the airplane was completely reassembled, to ensure no
problems when the airplane arrives in Seattle, and to facilitate
further paint stripping and repairs to the undersides of the horizontal
stabilizer and outboard wing panels.

The radome is installed, followed by the massive triple tail.
Starting to look like a real Connie now.

And the tip tanks
Four repaired nacelles mounted on the firewalls
Props on
And, Ladies and Gentlemen....We have an airplane!
That's a Frontier Airlines Airbus A320 in the background. I'd say our airplane holds her own.
