Lockheed designed the Constellation in the early 1940s. The design was in response to a specification supplied by Howard Hughes for a commercial airliner for TransWorld Airlines. In its day, the Constellation reigned as Queen of the Skies. It was the first aircraft to fly coast-to-coast non-stop and was pressurized. The "Connie" set new records for size and speed. In April 1944, a C-69 Constellation made world headlines when Howard Hughes and Jack Frye of TWA shattered the transcontinental commercial record, piloting the largest land transport plane ever built from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., in 7 hours 3 minutes. Military use of the "Connie" spanned three wars: World War II, Korea and Vietnam. At total of 856 "Connies" were built 1943 and 1958. They were used extensively by both military and civilian airlines until the early 1960s.</p> <p>In addition, in 1967, an RC-121 was the first aircraft to provide Airborne Warning and Control intercept information to a an Air Force fighter intercepting and shooting down a MiG over Vietnam.</p><br /> </div> <div class="reg1" style="background-color: #EFEFEF; text-align: right; padding: 5px;"> <a href="#top">^ Top ^</a> </div> <br /><br /> </div> <!--END BACKGROUND--> <!--BEGIN PHOTOS--> <div style="text-align: center; width: 570px;"> <a id='photos'></a> <div style="background-color: #000077; text-align: left; padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 2px;"> <span class="reg4" style="color: #ffffff;">C-121 Constellation Photos</span> </div> <div class="reg1p5" style="background-color: #EFEFEF; text-align: center; padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 2px;"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" width="100%"><tr><td><img onclick="document.location='https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/planes/lowres/c-121_1.jpg'" ondblclick="addtoFavs()" src="https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/planes/lowres/c-121_1.jtb" style="cursor: pointer;border: 2px solid black;" alt="C-121 Constellation" title="C-121 Constellation" /></td><td><img onclick="document.location='https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/planes/lowres/c-121_2.jpg'" ondblclick="addtoFavs()" src="https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/planes/lowres/c-121_2.jtb" style="cursor: pointer;border: 2px solid black;" alt="C-121 Constellation" title="C-121 Constellation" /></td></tr><tr><td><img onclick="document.location='https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/planes/lowres/c-121_3_c-69.jpg'" ondblclick="addtoFavs()" src="https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/planes/lowres/c-121_3_c-69.jtb" style="cursor: pointer;border: 2px solid black;" alt="C-121 Constellation" title="C-121 Constellation" /></td></tr></table> </div> <div class="reg1" style="background-color: #EFEFEF; text-align: right; padding: 5px;"> <a href="#top">^ Top ^</a> </div> <br /><br /> </div> <!--END PHOTOS--> <br /><hr /><br /> <a href="#top"><img src="/photos/top_of_page.jpg" class="imageLink" alt="Top Of Page" width="150" height="25" /></a> <br /><br /><br /> @JSCRIPT@ @JSCRIPT@ <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit" class="reg1" onclick="javascript:Start('http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)); return false;"> <img src="https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/icons/stumbleupon.gif" alt="Stumble This!" class="imageLink" /> Stumble This!</a> <a href="http://del.icio.us/post" class="reg1" onclick="javascript:Start('http://del.icio.us/post?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)); return false;"> <img src="https://cdn.globalaircraft.org/media/img/icons/delicious.gif" alt="Bookmark on Delicious" class="imageLink" /> Bookmark on Delicious!</a> <br /><br /> </div> <!--END ID level2Center--> <!--END CENTER BAR--> <!--XX11XX GROUP CLOSE--> </td></tr></table> <!--FOOTER--> <div class="footer"> <br /> <div class="footerLeft"> Copyright © 2000-2022, The Global Aircraft Organization</div> <div class="footerRight" style="width: 49%; float: right;">[<a href="//legal.globalaircraft.org/docs/legal_notices.htm" class="legalFooter">Legal Notices</a>] [<a href="//legal.globalaircraft.org/docs/privacy_policy.htm" class="legalFooter">Privacy Policy</a>] </div> <br /><br /> </div> <!--END FOOTER--> </div> <!--END godTable--> @JSCRIPT@ </body>
