Phoenix AZ, Januari 2, 2010. From our special correspondent: Today at 17:00, Sky Harbor Airport was visited by a Lockheed L-749 Constellation aircraft for the first time since 20 years. The 'Connie' N6021C landed after an uneventfull 45 mins. test flight from Marana Field near Tucson, where the old freighter was restored to her old glory the last year. Damaged in 1988 after an landing incident where the landing gear and structure was overstressed, she was abandoned at Santa Domingo. At that time she was flying for Aerochargo as HI-422. In 1991 the aircraft was reported 'broken up'. However, well-known caribbean Connie-operator Connie Air Cargo (CAC) who used to operate an old L-049 from St. Maarten, bought the derelict hulk two years ago and secretly ferried her to Marana, where the famous Constellation-specialists were awaiting her. The Connie took up her old US-registration N6021C, which she carried while flying for TWA. It is expected that '21C' will continue her ferry flight to the Caribbean in a few days. The old propliner seen on her test flight near Tucson.The landing at Phoenix International, runway 7R. Parked at the cargo ramp. The next days, preparations will be made for her flight down to the Caribbean.
