A2A L-049 Constellation preview

I agree - awesome video!

What was the "silver falcon" they were referring too? What aircraft is that?

Eastern flew a 'Silver Falcon Service' for want of a better explanation, rather like Pan Am's 'Clippers' and (IIRC) United's 'Mainliners', just marketing hype.

Martin 404's I suspect (or maybe/ or later on also Convairs?).

. . used on their shorter/medium/smaller routes to upgrade or supplement DC-3's . .

Speaking of Connies, I've been flying this beauty (Manfred's) the last few days between Miami and Orlando. IMHO, this is one of most attractive paint schemes ever. Had to do a few FDE tweaks for too much trim and a few other minor things but all in all a fun ride.

Just saying...the Connie imho is the most beautiful prop liner ever made. The Bristol Britannia a close second.
