Breitling Connie is Back!

[Dan4th]

Here's the Breitling Constellation back in the
air after a one-year hiatus for major service....



In this vid she's landing in Zurich where she
will receive a new paint scheme.....

Can't find any UK appearances listed -- YET!

[Mayfly]

Good move!

[Dan4th]

All I can say to that is Breitling sells lots
of "Stuff" in the UK.........

One might suppose they would WANT this
aircraft to appear at least ONCE this summer
in your country......

Thank you, Pam, for taking the "Hint"!

It has been one very L-O-N-G while since a
Connie -- ANY Connie -- has graced your skies!

Fingers Crossed!

Constellation Paint Prep:::::::::::::::



I wonder what the NEW look will be?????????

EDIT: I suspect that painting aircraft is a F-U-N Occupation!

I mean, Michelangelo only had the Sistine Chapel!!!!!!!!!!

What a find that site is!

[Dan4th]

What a find that site is!

Absolutely!

Ralph might not be the epicenter of all things
Connie, but he certainly knows and shares the
latest news!

I guess the final paint scheme is being kept a
secret until the rollout later in the month.....

I HOPE she gets to the UK this summer!

Danf.

[Xplumberlives]

I would GUESS that she is having a silver and blue LUFTHANSA scheme!

[Dan4th]

I don't think so.....

Breitling is the primary sponsor, and
she was already blue and white and
silver.....

I expect an update of the previous one
but nicer and more moderne.

Either way, will just be good to have her in the air with a posibility of a UK appearance!

The way things seem to be there - unlikely to be seen by anyone, let alone flying.
