Former National Airlines Constellation N7134C delivered in 1957 was stored at MIami in 1963. Nordair bought the aircraft, registering it CF-NAM in December 1964. Stored at Montreal unmarked and used for spares, it was restored to flight in 1966. Nordair sold their Constellations beginning in December 1968 to Canairelief for relief operations in the Nigerian civil war (Biafrian airlift). CF-NAM was abandoned at São Tomé (with sister ship CF-NAL) after hostilities ended in 1970. Both aircraft are preserved as part of a restaurant next to the airport. In memory of Peter Marshall 1946 - 2024

"Columbine III" on display in the Presidential Gallery at NMUSAF. This was the third Connie to carry the name of the state flower of Colorado, where the First Lady grew up. Gen. Eisenhower used VC-121A 48-614 "Columbine" as CO of SHAPE. He briefly used VC-121A 48-610 "Columbine II" as President. This VC-121E was started as a USN R7V-1. It was modified during production, square windows replacing the portholes. The plush Super Connie featured a teletype, TV and a telephone link. It was President Eisenhower's aircraft from 1954 till 1961 and the last primary piston-engined Air Force One.

One of the star attractions of the superb Indian Naval Aviation Museum in Dabolim, Goa is this Indian Navy Super Constellation. It used to be with Air India as VT-DHM "Rani of Ellora." After conversion it went to the Indian Air Force with serial BG575, before it went to the Indian Navy for longe range maritime patrol duties. It was retired in 1983.

SCFA planned to restore the Connie and bring it to Switzerland to fly passengers on the European airshow circuit. The former USAF (54-4062, MASDC CK209, arr 31 May'78, dep 15 Oct'85) and Aerochago airplane was ferried from Santo Domingo to Avra Valley (AZ), where it arrived 7 Jan'01. Restoration was well underway in Aug'02 when the SCFA suspended efforts due to the FAA's decision not to issue a standard airworthiness certificate as the result of 9/11. The aircraft was stripped of useful parts by SCFA, and later HARS, before being disassembled
