Colorado tanker: "I’m pretty sure my first flight, in 1956, was on a Constellation. But I was so young I don’t remember..."

I remember it distinctly, the three tails and unique shape made it memorable.
And, it was soon replaced by Boeing 707s, so I never again saw it in service.
But, will never forget it.

The Constellation was a beautiful bird, alright.

In the 70’s I used to see Connies flying cargo runs to the Caribbean and S. America from Miami.

Just sparked a memory of being in the 7th grade outside in between classes,seeing a Connie fly over and pointed it out to the flaming poofter drama teacher who said, “Look kids, it’s a B-52”.
