Description
I love aviation and I could not turn down the opportunity to take a few shots of this Lockheed super constellation. I don't think this one fly's anymore, but it is still a beautiful airplane. With its 4 big piston engines, this prop plane could go the distance across the Atlantic. If it lost an engine it could make it on 3!!! Sadly the jet age was the end of the era for this beautiful airplane!!! I hope you enjoy your flight with "The Transatlantic Queen"!!!
