I thought the L1649 was no longer a Constellation because of its new wing but a Starliner.
Today 07:24
The Starliner name was used by a couple of airlines, but it was a Constellation all right...and, a very complicated one, at that.

My record flight time in the airplane was 17 hours, and if we had had more fuel (and oil) it could have flown on for 6 more...
A long-ranger, for sure.

Also flew the DC-3 in command for about 500 hours...quite frankly I was not especially impressed.
