That’s the view you get when walking over the wing of a Super Constellation! Quite a story for this Connie! Started it's life in 1957 with National Airlines as N7134C and was stored years later at Miami until being sold to International Aviation Company. In Dec 1964, joint Nordair as CF-NAM and was ferried to Montreal as a source of spares in ex-National color scheme, where it would re-enter in service with the airline during the spring of 1966. This classic was transferred to CanRelief Air in 1969 and ferried to São Tomé for use on the Biafran Airlift, an international humanitarian relief effort that transported food and medicine to Biafra during the 1967-70 secession war from Nigeria. Since 1970, it's stored near the airport still with Nordair's basic colours with it's brother CF-NAL (you can see it on the background) and they're used nowadays as a restaurant/night club at Asas D' Avião.
