On June 20th, Air Legends Foundation’s Lockheed C-121A Constellation took off on its first post-restoration flight from Chino Airport around 7:30 pm. The Connie’s crew was composed of experienced warbird pilots and restorers, Captain Stewart Dawson, first officer Steve Hinton, flight engineer Jeff Whitesell, safety overseer Jim “JD” Dale, and safety observer John Hinton made sure that the test flight was a success.

This C-121 was General Douglas MacArthur's transport, "Bataan"

Many more photos in the article below.

Always loved 'Wait for me, Daddy'! A bit of background:

Of course, today - other than the slope of that hill - nothing is recognizable as Eighth Street!

Well, I see two options:

1) The German jet, or

2) The British bomber.

I wanted the Genie with the brown band but they said that could not do that as I was in violation of the "No Lone Zone"!
