Connie the Constellation at the TWA Hotel

The beautifully restored Connie L-1649A is a 1958 Lockhead Constellation that serves as a cocktail bar at the TWA Hotel at JFK in New York City. In addition to the incredible architecture of the hotel inside the historic TWA Flight Center, the plane, surrounded by old baggage and stair cars, adds another level of vintage detail to this stunning mid-century property.

Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress

When you get a message asking if you'd like to witness one of the last airworthy B-17 Flying Fortresses in the world come in to land and then have the opportunity to privately explore it, the correct response is, "I'm on my way". Here are a few behind the scenes snaps (including a few interiors) following yesterday's landing of "Sentimental Journey" at the Medicine Hat Airport.
