Have to agree the Super Connie was a great looking airliner. Also like the Lockheed Electra. I did fly aboard a DC-3 Gooney Bird on West Coast Airlines and in Viet-Nam during the time there. The WCA had about 18 seats if I'm remembering right.

While it's hard to pick a favorite, the Connie is usually the first one that comes to my mind when these discussions take place.
