On display at the Museum of Flight. This aircraft was built as a L-1049C and delivered to Trans-Canada Airlines (TCA) in May 1954. It was converted to a 1049E, then to a 1049G around 1958. Most successful of the Constellation models, the Super-G was fitted with optional 609 gal wingtip tanks that increased range by 700 miles. The lengthened nose featured a weather radar. After TCA, the aircraft went to World Wide Airways (WWA) in 1965, which stopped flying the same year. It was stripped of parts and sold, used as a cocktail bar and restaurant before it was bought by MoF in 2005.
