Photo Comment

This aircraft was the last Constellation operated by the US military when the Navy flew it into Florence on June 25, 1982 for display at the Florence Air and Missile Museum. By 1993 its belly and bottom radome had been damaged by a brush fire and it was parked next to a disassembled B-29.
