Connie Question - Previously Discussed

[sak1134]

At some point there was a topic about "Speed packs" I think they were called that were used by a few operators to increase the Connie's luggage capacity. I know EAL used them (which is why I'm interested). I was just wondering if it was modeled on the new 1049?

If all my questions are answered elsewhere, please point me in the proper direction I couldn't find the previous discussion.

Thanks

The speed packs as far as I know were only installed on the L-749 not the L-1049. Once all the major L-1049 variations are done it will be up to Manfred to set the next target.

Hi,

some of the later L-049 and all of the L-649 to L-749A versions could carry the speedpack, but it was not available for the Super Constellation or Starliner.

Best regards,
