Me, at any given point in time: where is N6937C Star of America. What happened to her.
[long story - it's a Lockheed Constellation aircraft (L-1049 Super Constellation), the last (?) that was airworthy I believe, and it was owned by 'Save-A-Connie' in my town (Kansas City MO), at the airline history museum at the old KC downtown airport. Save-A-Connie became the airline history museum, and during COVID, the airline history museum folded.
No one's really sure why. Financial problems? The state came and shut them down. Locked the hangers / buildings and called it a day, from what I was told.
The TWA museum, owned by a different group, is still operating down there but no one seems to KNOW what happened to the Connie, or the Lockheed L-1011 Tristar the airline history museum also owned, also a rare retired aircraft.
Both aircraft are incredibly historically important. The Connie could still fly, it was fully airworthy and taken care of, though it didn't have current FAA certification. The L-1011 was missing engines but was otherwise airworthy, it was flown into Kansas City to get it there, not dismantled.
I am foaming at the mouth to know what became of these aircraft. I can find NOTHING online - in fact, google still seems to suggest the airline history museum was open until recently. All online presence is still there suggesting it's open. it's not I've been down there. the people at the TWA museum have no clue.
Who owns the airline history museum's whole collection now??? The state of Missouri? I'm terrified the state won't even know what they have and just scrap these two historic aircraft, not to mention everything else in the museum's collection. That would be an absolute tragedy. Is anyone taking care of the Connie rn??? It needs maintenance to stay airworthy, engines started etc. I think they were behind on it all anyway but I'm. so concerned.
What happened to my babies. I've seen both aircraft. I saw the Connie FLY when I was a kid. My dad worked on the L-1011 (he was an avionics engineer with TWA)
WHERE ARE THESE AIRCRAFT. STILL AT CHARLES B. WHEELER?? WHO OWNS THEM? I'm foaming at the mouth.
Anyway anybody wanna write a letter to the state of Missouri with me and ask about an aircraft or two? Anyone know any millionaires willing to buy them from the state and donate them to the TWA museum? along with the hanger space? lol.
EDIT:
OH GOD LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND
NOOOO
how dare ya'll threaten to take those historic aircraft 'to the curb' ???? HELLO?? SHUT THE FUCK UP?? im gonna bite and tear. I'm gonna go insane. dont do this , i can't find any recent news ,

Stargazer carrying a Pegasus XL rocket over the Atlantic
Stargazer is a Lockheed L-1011 TriStar built in 1974, that was modified in 1994 for use by Orbital Sciences (now part of Northrop Grumman) as a mother ship launch pad for the Pegasus launch vehicle. As of October 2022, 45 rockets (containing nearly 100 satellites) have been launched from it, using the Pegasus-H and Pegasus-XL configurations. As of 2019, Stargazer was the only L-1011 airframe still airworthy.

ol Garry from the airport also gave me this Eastern Airlines L-1011 training manual for the Auxiliary Power Unit. :3
Idk if there's much anyone would be interested in it (i might post some schematics I find interesting tho), but it's definitely helping me in my turbine electrical portion in class rn. c:
