Great photo. Looked it up because today I was waiting on the exit ramp off I-90 in Harborcreek, PA. There seemed to be an unexplained delay. Nobody was going past on Rt. 531 yet nobody was going. Then two guide trucks went by followed by the fuselage of this Constellation! Why they were on the back roads, I do not know but it was a beautiful sight to see.

Great job, and I see no rotors missing just #2 propeller. Didn't know it had any rotors, but one always learns!

I actually flew on this plane and I am glad to see it again

Brought tears to my eyes as my father crossed the Atlantic from Prestwick to Winnipeg in a TCA Connie before we all followed in a TCA DC-8 a few years later. I can still remember the 1963 "CKY in Winnipeg" radio jingle we listened to in the car the day we landed. Means a lot to me, this is what Airliners.net is all about....thank you!

Yes, very good job fixing this baby up. What a nice paint scheme too.

Wow what a beautiful photo! I saw photos of the Connie when she first came to Rome, all rough and rotten looking. What a job they did fixing her up. Great job! and Great photo!!

Is this the same aircraft that was a restaurant in Toronto? If it is I actually have had lunch in it. Looks absolutely stunning now.

Any idea if they are restoring her to flying condition or just for static display?

I believe this is headed to the Museum of Flight in Seattle

A visitor from United States posted Tue December 2, 2008:
This Connie is owned by the Museum of Flight in Seattle. It is good to finally see her on her feet!Too bad she will never fly again, though. For more information on the restoration of this bird, visit www.rbogash.com

Needs a couple of rotors and minor paint details..

A visitor from United States posted Tue December 2, 2008:
I see that it still missing parts, but I could appreciate where it is going. My question is...is that the original nose design? I hope to visit it.

Amazing photo! I worked for Landcare Aviation next door last year and this Connie was seemingly rotting away in the parking lot for months. It is great to see that they are actually restoring this truly beautiful bird.
