I had a super time at the Hermeskeil museum. The sun was warm, the planes were super and the view of the countryside from the hill was impressive. Just to walk around and under these these old planes taking lots of detail shots made for a thoroughly worthwhile trip.

The EC-121K suffered quite a bit of damage as the result of Hurricane Ivan. Its rudders, flaps, ailerons were damaged and its upper radome blown completely off. A replacement radome was salvaged from Tucson resident EC-121H 53-535 and, with the exception of the ailerons, repairs have been completed.

"World Citizens International" travel club is the third livery in which I've photographed this Connie. Four years later she was destroyed in a fire in Togo. The TWA stripe reflects her career as N6014C with that airline.
