Looks great! Did the Connie have skis?
A quick google search finds that she seems to have a strange role of collecting insects at high altitude between Antarctica and New Zealand. Have you got any more info about this?

Apologies for the earlier confusion too, it seemed strange that some parts were the same but I believe you, I know you're a very talented artist. No hard feelings mate ;)

no skis... only good pilots
main role was the connection between NZ and Antarctica.

I also was a little unhappy about what happened: the main issue is that we don't have a clear database for the millions of flying devices.

BTW soon will come another Connie, the Pegasus, with a very intersting story.... and maybe the Phoenix landed with wheels.

and the C121J Pegasus: this plane crashed on the airstrip near McMurdo and is still there. The airstrip id now called Pegasus airfield...

Nice drawings, but I'd leave out the brown line.

I like the brown line designating the ground - makes "imagining" the aircraft a bit easier.

Wow, after drawing a bunch of jetliners those things look small in this scale now.

I added the brown line because I will not "rotate" the plane to show the correct asset at ground level...

Yes - no reason to redraw the entire aircraft just to show it with its gear extended on the ground. ;)
