Lockheed Constellation NC1206 Salina, Kansas

Connie

She sat alone in the corner
Dreaming her fading dreams,
Watching her world whistle and whine,
Away and without her.
Once more she thought, once more in the sky.
Once more where there is no horizon,
To fly, once more, to fly.


(Update Februrary 6, 2008) I'm recycling this again because I received a note from a man associated with this spectacular aircraft. Here is what he says:

Hello anyzazz65, Just an update for you and that link you
posted here, I was at her side in Salina in January, she
looks a bit sad now,holes appearing in the surfaces. Have
posted some pics of her, she still looks salvagable,but im
short on the cash at the moment.
The link hasn't been updated since 2003, so im sure some
people would like to know whats happened, or not.
I see her whenever I'm up on the road through Salina, as i live in Wichita.
regards
Steve

I took the above picture in 1993. It is a Lockheed Constellation. Here is an interesting account of the life and history of this spectacular aircraft.
