Photo Comment

Delivered new in November 1957 and here arriving on the last "Connie" service to Prestwick. Withdrawn from use in June 1962 and stripped of parts at Burbank/CA. The fuselage of this beautiful aircraft was unceremoniously dumped on the ground after only 11,500 hours total time - another victim of the jet age.
