I passed 3 tractor trailers on Thursday that were heading East on the 401 just East of Toronto. They were carrying what looked to be wings, props and the tail of the a constellation. Anyone know the story?

Not to sure what the deal is, however I was driving on dixon(road that goes from airport paralleling 23) and noticed that the connie that was across the field for however long is now gone.

Yeah- what you saw was the Museum of Flight’s L1049G Super Constellation CF-TGE/CF-RNR It crossed the Canadian-US border on June 7th at 2:00pm EDT. Over the next few months the aircraft will be reassembled and a damage/condition assessment will be conducted. Based on the assessment the aircraft will be disassembled, repairs made and then finally stripped/painted in 1954 Trans Canada Airlines colors. The aircraft will then be made ready for a cross country road trip to Seattle where she will be put on display in the Fall of 2007.
