PhrogPhlyer Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Nice tie-in to the poster! The Connie is truly the most classic from the Golden Age. Do you know anything about the "Super G" painted on the side? I've not seen that in other photos of Connies. Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate. And never be low on Fuel, Altitude, Airspeed, or Ideas. Laptop, Intel Core i7 CPU 1.80GHz 2.30 GHz, 8GB RAM, 64-bit, NVIDIA GeoForce MX 130, Extra large coffee-black.

From 'www.museumofflight.org/exhibits-and-events/aircraft/lockheed1049g-super-constellation', "For long range operations, the Super G could be fitted with extra wingtip tanks, increasing the fuel capacity by two-thirds". Just manufacturer advertising bling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Macro, I should have remembered about the tip=tanks, since the military had these also. So much great history out there. Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate.

jankees Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Nice shots, but then the Connie always looks good Slapping paint on flightsim models you'll find all my FSX/P3D repaints here and all my MSFS repaints here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
