C-121 Lockheed Constellation
This aircraft you see here was nicknamed “Pegasus” and is a C-121 Lockheed Constellation. It was found in Pegasus Field, South Antarctica, and if the photographer stayed away for a couple more years, we can tell him/her that this plane would have been an abandoned machine that no one knows about. Here’s a fun fact you may love: A Lockheed Constellation was initially used as Eisenhower’s presidential aircraft and was nicknamed “Columbine II.” Also, it was used as the first machine to transport the Air Force One call sign. It was designed and built at Burbank, California, and was a C-121A. It only did one year in service.
