This is the only photo of this aircraft I have, which I have assumed to be N3450B, but after doing some research, I believe it has to be N3450R, a Piper PA-28-180 manufactured in 1969 that was involved in an accident at Cheraw, South Carolina on 3 August 2002.

This aircraft was the last Constellation operated by the US military when the Navy flew it into Florence on June 25, 1982 for display at the Florence Air and Missile Museum. By 1993 its belly and bottom radome had been damaged by a brush fire and it was parked next to a disassembled B-29.

This aircraft was the last operational Constellation with the US military. It was flown to Florence in the early 1980's for inclusion in the Florence Air Museum collection but allowed to rot in a field adjacent to the museum. The landing gear and engines were used in the restoration of N1005C at the AMC Museum. Uploaded with permission of Jim Leech, AMC Museum.
