The Connie is one of the most revered commercial airliners in the history of aviation, there are thousands of Connie devotees among aviation historians and enthusiasts the world over. The fate of ever one of those aircraft is well documented, it would be easy to check to see if one of them disappeared in 1954. If one didn't disappear, then one didn't reappear some thirty years later.
