Is there anywhere to get a ride on a Lockheed Constellation?

Question

One of the items left on my "1000 things to do before I die" list!

Answer 1

Try Oshkosh, WI during the air show that is held there yearly . you might have a good shot there. July 28th thru August 3rd 2008.

Answer 2

If you're able to visit the Los Angeles area, Camarillo Airport (about 35 miles NW of LAX) has one of the 5 remaining flyable Constellations.

Answer 3

Try the old "Save a Connie" Foundation in Kansas City.  I'm not sure of their website but you can search through landing.com or warbirdalley.com to find out.  They have a Connie, DC-3 and I believe a Martin 404 or 202.

Answer 4

Sure--at Jeongsok Aerodrome (Jeju Island, South Korea).

Answer 5

It won't be free.  Far from it.

There are a few still around.  The people who own them probably could use a generous donation for other projects they're working on.  Do the math.

Answer 6

I suppose so. I mean I'm sure there's a C-600 'Connie' that is still flyable. A frequent airshow guest, I think it belongs to the Confederate Air Force's collection.
