Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation, aka “Super Connie”, is propeller-driven, four-engine commercial airliner produced by Lockheed Corporation. It has the iconic triple-tail design and the distinctive dolphin shaped fuselage of all aircraft in the Constellation line. It was actually an improved version of the L-049, stretched by 18 ft to compete with rival DC-6. Qantas Airways is the flagship of Australia and the third oldest airline in the world. The Qantas name is the acronym for its original name, "Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services". Qantas’ first Connie was used on the Kangaroo route between London and Sydney in 1947, making Qantas the first round-the-world airline. On January 14, 1958, two Qantas Super Constellations left Melbourne, to begin the Qantas Round-the-World Service, first visiting Sydney and then flying off in opposite directions, both arriving back in Sydney on 20 January.
