I grew up with the "Save a Connie"[1] plane and organization in my back yard, so to speak -- we lived about 6 miles from the KC downtown airport. I remember dad taking me down to the airport to sit on the river levee and watch the it arrive when they ferried it to KC. After that, I think I attended every public event they hosted between the plane's arrival and the change to the Airline History Museum.

I think I still have a bunch of their airshow flyers and other give-aways squirreled away in the basement somewhere.

Thanks for the interesting trip down memory lane.
