— — - Lockheed EC-121H Warning Star. This aircraft took off on an Active Air Defense mission during an airshow at Otis AFB, Cape Cod MA., where I was stationed at the time, in the Summer of 1968. It returned one hour later with the #3 engine feathered due to a mechanical malfunction. It has been said that the Constellation was the best three engine airliner ever built, but all in all it did its job very well.

It returned one hour later with the #3 engine feathered due to a mechanical malfunction. It has been said that the Constellation was the best 'three engine' airliner ever built, but all in all it did it's job very well.
