69th Anniversary - April 17, 1944

April 17th, 1944, Howard Hughes and Jack Frye board the second production C-69 and set a world record with a plane full of passengers. Their non-stop coast to coast trip would take 6 hours and 58 minutes at an average speed of 331.6 mph. Previously, coast to coast travel would take 14 hours.

The C-69 is the original Lockheed Constellation designed for TWA. This aircraft would change the landscape of commercial aviation for the next 30 years. It’s speed, technological advances and critically acclaimed shaped with the unmistakable triple tail, made the Constellation “Connie” one of the most famous aircraft ever built.
