	Lockheed L-1049G Super Constellation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The last operating Constellations I saw were at the Santo Domingo airport in the Dominican Republic in 1979.
		Many of the design features of the Lockheed plane were put in at the request of TWA and specifically at the request of the then owner of TWA, eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes.
		Typical of Lockheed in those days, the design was brilliant and it sold well to the military as a troop transport and radar picket plane, but was not a winner in the commercial market.

	Lockheed Super Constellations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Throughout the 1950's, Lockheed was in a race with Douglas for the plane that was the fastest, most economical and had the longest range.
		The war surplus DC-4's were cheap, though, and Lockheed was handicapped by a provision in the TWA contract that it couldn't sell a Conny to a competing East-West airline for two years.
		These planes were very popular with the flying public, but the engines were not as reliable as those of the DC-6, and the Super Connies were often sold after the jets had replaced them on the premium routes, although Eastern used them successfully in Shuttle service into the late 1960's.

	LOCKHEED CONSTELLATION
		The Lockheed L-049 Constellation was one of the most graceful airliners placed in service between the end of World War II in 1945 and the advent of the commercial jet age in the mid-1950s.
		The Prototype Constellation completed its maiden flight in January 1943, and although both TWA and Pan American had placed orders for the aircraft, the small number then produced was quickly pressed into military as the C-69.
		With auxiliary wing-tip fuel tanks, the new super Constellation, as the enlarged L-1049 was known, could fly nonstop between New York and Los Angeles.

		Production of civil aircraft began under the company designation L-049 Constellation, using components that had been intended for the C-69's, but with the interior finished to airline standards and the basic accommodations for 43 to 48 passengers, or a maximum of 60 in a high-density layout.
