Constellation Dreams – Retrospect of Commercial Airline Service
From a shaky start with early airline passengers riding in open air cockpits sitting on bags of mail to noisy tin tri-motor airliners that often landed in cow pastures, to the heyday of transatlantic Clippers and pressurized airliners that brought the end of an era for Ocean Liners, take a journey that explores the fascinating and sometimes humorous history of international airliners. Trace the development of commercial air service from the birth of airlines like Imperial Airways in the UK to small obscure air mail carriers that would eventually merge into mega airlines like United, Pan American Airways and TWA. Take a personal flight back in time on rare restored 1950’s airliner, the Super-G Constellation to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York in 2000 as part of TWA’s 75th Anniversary and fly around the Statue of Liberty in a vintage airliner at 1,200 feet!
