though forced into obsolescence by the Boeing 707, the Constellation imprinted so much on the 40s ad 50s Americana, one was restored in Maine, then moved to NYC to serve as a retro cocktail lounge for the TWA Hotel at the JFK Airport (formerly known as the TWA Flight Center Terminal

After its brief time with TWA, the Connie went on to be a bush plane in Alaska, was used by South American drug traffickers, then was sold for parts, but sat for the past 35 years at Maine’s Auburn Lewiston Airport


 the former terminal avoided not only demolition but a scheme to lift the entire structure on to a boat bound for Helsinki.
