adamb Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I was lucky enough to have flown on both aircraft, the TWA Connie being my very first plane ride in 1961. Beautiful shots of both ladies Gonzalo!! :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCD Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Give me the Connie any day. They were loud, they smoked, they rattled, but they were AIRPLANES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svpst Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 A couple of real beauties. Flew on the Tri-star but never made a Connie, but if you read a lot of the books by W.E.B. Griffen, you'll hear all about them. Brian W. I5-8400, EVGA GTX 1070.ti, 16 gigs ram, 500g Samsung SSD, 1.5 T HDD, 1 T HDD, Win 10, 64bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annber Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Outstanding pictures Gonzalo, the Tristar is one of my all time favorites. Saw the Connie take off once, what an amazing plane.:pilot::cool: ANNBER https://www.facebook.com/Photosim-Labs-133663917277630/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf2 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 love all of those. especially the last connie shot, that turquoise on metal combo is gorgeous! klee: a connie broke my heart long before a girl ever did. I was about six, and the rest of the family was driving to Miami for vacation but my mother was let off at the airport. we watched her climb the airstair to a twa connie, and the instant I saw that plane I started begging to go with her. this was obviously a terrible mistake, i was meant to be aboard! that plane was the most magnificent thing I had ever seen, and it was absolutely heartbreaking to stay in the car.

liner simpilot Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Fantastic shots Gonzalo, the Connie shots are amazing as that bird is one of the most gorgeous & distinctive planes ever made in that era. I like the last shot as well as the sunset one. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stvn Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Great pics. A bit biased as I'm a huge TriStar fan, I love flying that plane in FSX. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ my flight simming system: Windows 10 CyberPower PC i5 6600k 3.5 gHz, Gigabyte NVidia GTX 970 graphics, with FSX, FSXSE and P3D all installed side-by-side on a Crucial 525 SSD.
