SLIDE SCANNING PROJECT
The "Star of America" Constellation on display at McConnell AFB in Wichita way back in 1995. This "Connie" has the distinction of being the very first Constellation to ever be fully restored to flying condition. I discovered that this plane was featured in the A & E channel's show "First Flights" that was narrated by Neil Armstrong. It also made appearances in three Hollywood movies. . ."Voyager" in 1992. . .Interior shots were used in "Ace Ventura-When Nature Calls" in 1995. . .And it also appeared in a favorite film of mine, "The Aviator", directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes. There is some engine maintenance that is still ongoing with the "Star of America", but the goal is to have this beauty back on the air show circuit soon.
