The 'New Jersey Connie'

[Deleted]

Recently I came across of the scenery "Greenwood Lake Airport 4N1" done by the late John B. Loney. I was particulary intrigued by following description of the file:

This update adds the 'New Jersey Connie' at Greenwood Lake ( 4N1). The Connie came there in 1946 or 47. Since then, it's been waiting for restoration. Over the years it's been slated for a pilot's lounge, a resturant and a flight School Office.


The advice that the Connie came there in the Forties made me rather perplex. Therefore I wanted to know more about the story and found this quite interesting article which might be also worth reading for some of you.

Finally the "life" of the 'Greenwood Lake Connie' turns out to be far more complexe. But at least John's scenery could animate to learn more about this particular airliner. A posthumous thanks. I slightly adapted the scenery and replaced the modeled aircraft by a static one. Not perfectly accurate, I have to admit.
