After Lufthansa failed to make this Starliner airworthy, it will now become a new representative exhibit at Frankfurt Airport. During the last weeks she was painted in historic Lufthansa colours at Münster - Osnabrück (FMO) and the registration D-ALAN was painted on the vertical stabilizers. Seen here during a day stop on her transport from FMO to FRA at motorway 3 rest area Medenbach West.

Rather less suitable for photography than when I last saw it in 1973 (photo here), "Triple Nickel" was one of the unarmed radar EC-121s that aided direction towards enemy aircraft, to aerial refuelling tankers and guided rescue planes to downed pilots. In October 1967 while stationed airborne over Gulf of Tonkin, this Connie guided a US fighter by radar into position to destroy a MiG-21, marking the first time an airborne radar weapons controller had directed a successful attack on an enemy aircraft. The 72 EC-121s had entered service with ADC from 1953, flying coastal patrols
