That is a credible version of my very most favorite aircraft ever, the triple-tailed, dolphin-shaped, gleaming aluminum Lockheed Constellation. Connies weren’t much used in the airlift, but they did play a role, and one of the proudest moments of my life was accompanying my old company’s Connie to Germany for the 50th anniversary of the airlift, and meeting one of the children in that famous image.

Ahh, memories.
