| Connies are the most beautiful airliners ever built. They have sensual curves, they are so classic and elegants and perform so good... they are like flying pianos. |

My grandmother was killed in one of those beauties, when it came down near Mexico City, in the late 50's.

Early 1964. Called the 'LAS TRAP III' Super Constellation Conversion. LAS (Lockheed Aircraft Service Company) converted a Constellation (SN.66956) to carry the TRAP III airborne radiation measurement system developed by Bendix. The object of the exercise was to.."scan the skies from a single observation point and obtain visual and precise optical tracking, recording and timing data associated with the re-entry of high speed bodies into the earth's atmosphere." The gun-turret-type domes contained the "optical radiation measurement instrumentation." But I'm not exactly sure what 'high speed bodies' refers to. | |
