N6937C (cn 1049H-4830) The rear of the "Save -a-Connie" foundation TWA configured aircraft with the new *ahem* working facilities. The crew jumpseat is on the wall with the intercom phone. This is a wonderful working aircraft with her equally wonderful crew at their hangar at MKC. |

N6937C (cn 1049H-4830) The seating on the TWA Connie was bi-directional and as you can see quite spacious. This young lady seemed quite comfortable looking out of the window. At the far end of the isle is the cockpit.This bird still flies with the wonderful folks at the Airline History Museum. |

N6937C (cn 1049H-4830) Flight engineer's station on the Connie. 4 engines to monitor probably kept this location quite busy...especially when the Wright engines had trouble. Note the open doorway on the right which shows how cockpit actually had a fullsize access door. |

N6937C (cn 1049H-4830) In 1986 a group of dedicated Kansas City based aviation enthusiasts decided they were going to find, acquire, and restore to like new condition a Lockheed Super G Constellation, model L-1049G. By that time the "Connie", as it was affectionately called, had disappeared from the skies. After much detective work, they found a derelict Connie, registration number N6937C, in storage at Falcon Field in Mesa, Arizona. Their success is evident. |
