An unexpected surprise! On this day I was driving from LAS to LAX taking a slightly circuitous route in order to call in at Mojave and see all the stored aircraft there. The onward route to LAX took me past Lancaster CA. As I got nearer, to my great surprise, I saw the unmistakable and amazing sight of a Constellation, Furthermore it was flying circuits! It turned out to be N73544 doing some crew training prior to its eventual trip to Switzerland the following month. Little did I know at the time that just over 2 years later I would fly on it through the Alps from and to Geneva.

The S-55QT (Quiet Technology) conversion was started by Orlando Helicopter in the mid 1980s and continued by Vertical Aviation Technology (VAT) in the 1990s, at the request of Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters who needed quieter helicopters for their sight-seeing flights. It features a 5-blade rotor instead of the standard 3-blade one, revised engine intakes and exhausts, and noise-suppressing engine covers. It also has extra large windows to improve the passenger's view. The conversion was certified in December 1999. This example still carries its old Papillon colours.

This S-55QT (Quiet Technology) conversion previously flew sight-seeing flights over the Grand Canyon with Papillon Helicopters, hence the large windows. It also still carries their colours.
