The Australian Connie

As well as all the Northern Connie activity, we a have a fully serviceable Connie operating in Australia. For those interested check out
http://www.hars.org.au. The Australian Connie is actually a USAF C121 in disguise as a Qantas Connie but with Connie on the aircraft rather than Qantas.She celebrated her 10th year in Australia last year.
Connie is flown a few times each year and the longest recent trip was from Albion Park,just south of Sydney, to Kalgoolie in Western Australia.Her next big trip will probably be to the Avalon Airshow next year.
HARS also operates a Catalina, 2 x Neptunes, 2x C47s and a number of smaller aircraft.
The museum is well worth a visit if you are in the area.
