If that is the Connie I think it is it was at KSFB for years, and was flown down I-4 to Kermit Weeks place "Fantasy of Flight". What I'm not sure of is if that pic was taken at KSFB or FOF
, I'm leaning towards FOF.Exerpt from connie survivors.com: The so-called experts said it couldn't be done. "That old Connie parked at Sanford Airport will never fly again", they predicted. Good thing they didn't convince Maurice Roundy, the owner of the Connie, because on October 19, 2001 at 1:40pm EDT, he proved them all wrong! Accompanied by Kermit Weeks in a Beech Baron chase plane, N974R successfully made the 45-minute flight from Sanford, FL to Kermit's Fantasy of Flight Museum in Polk City, Florida. In command of the flight was Captain Frank Lang, of MATS Connie fame, assisted by Jane Theberge in the right seat and flight engineer Carlos Gomez. Also onboard were flight mechanics Maurice Roundy, Ben Dual and Paul Jenny.
