Actually that would have been the Lockheed L-1049 Constellation, all Douglas propeller commercial aircraft, from the DC-3, to the DC-7, had only one vertical stabilizer (vertical wing) The Constellation had 3 of them.

I can remember going to Newark Airport when they had an open house and getting tours of the airport and aircraft.

I don't ever remember open houses at the airport here, but we didn't have much of an airport in the early 1960's, until the late 1970's.

I was born just as jets were coming on the scene in late 1956, and Boeing at that time was still working on its first jetliner, the Boeing 707. I also remember my parents bringing me and my sisters in the early 1960's to watch the new jetliners landing at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, we didn't see them too often, I think only 2 or 3 landed or took off around 1963 or so, because Phoenix wasn't much of a city back then. Most of the airplanes we saw back then were propeller type.

I'm going back to when Newark was a one building airport and the observation tower was open after dark (closing around 9pm).
