Another shot courtesy of Flickr user m20wc51, this one taken around 1958-59, by globe-trotting engineer E. Reed, of a Lockheed Constellation, apparently on the tarmac in, I would guess, California or Hawaii. This one was a little dirty, and I cleaned it by hand rather than using dust-busting sub-routines because I wanted to preserve the very thin wires and antennae on the plane. A beautiful airplane. TWA named this particular aircraft "Star of America."

The original shot can be found here, for purposes of comparison. I've tried to beef up the colour and contrast a little, but otherwise done very little.
