For many years this fomer Cubana (CU-P573) and Capitol (N1005C) Super Connie sat atop a restaurant in Penndel, PA. Though the restaurant is now a gas station, the Connie has been restored as a C-121 at the Air Mobility Command Museum, Dover Delaware.

Isn't the Connie one of those planes that would break up rather spectacularly without warning?

Not the Connie. Maybe you are thinking of the Lockheed Electra. 3 broke-up in flight and the mystery of it went on for years. Eventually, engineers deduced it was a type of harmonic resonance that caused the failure.
