How many "short" Constellations still flying?

Tue Jun 27, 2023 11:26 am

By short Constellations I mean 049, 149, 649 and 749 versions. As far as I can tell, either just one or a total of two are still actively flying, but I get conflicting information from Web sources. One of the airplanes would be the just-completed-restoration "Bataan," but is that the only flyer?

Best list out there.

Basically, Bataan and Columbine II will be the only short-body Connies airworthy for quite some time unless Gary Cole & crew are able to get their airplane (a WV-1/C-121A) going.
