Summary[edit]

Description

Often called one of the most beautiful aeroplanes ever made, the Connie not only looks amazing, but also sounds amazing too!Built in 1955, she started life as a USAF C-121C, with the serial '54-156'. She served until being sold off in 1972 and becoming an agricultural sprayer registered 'N73544'. Grounded in the early 80's, she flew again in 1994 after restoration before being grounded by the FAA in 2001 for maintenance irregularities. Sold on eBay, she moved to Basel in Switzerland. Registered 'HB-RSC' in 2007, she remains active on the european airshow circuit. c/n 4175. Seen departing the 2013 RIAT at Fairford. After take-off, she was given special permission to give a flyby, an unheard of event during departure day.
