eerste vlucht connie aviodrome N749NL

[Stratofreighter]

Sorry for bringing this old topic back to life.

But after visiting the aviodrome site again I questioned myself what the status is of the Constellation project after the take-over. Does anyone has some info if their are stll planning to get here in the air or any other info for that mather?

According to the "Verenigde Vleugels" of this month, page 2:

"Onze Uiver staat nog steeds aan de grond, wachtend op een stichting die voor haar wordt opgericht", etc.

Apparently a "Stichting Uiver Constellation" was (supposed to be?) set up in 2012.

In this "Stichting" Aviodrome-owner LiBeMa would not be a partner apparently,
but Schiphol NV, KLM and Lelystad council were, each taking a share of
250 thousand euros.

Officially, Libema has nothing to do with the DC2 or L749, as these aircraft were sold by the adminitrator (DC2 to KLM and L749 to Schiphol and Lelystad council) before the Libema deal came to fruition. If there will ever be another flight for the Connie... Bear in mind: initial plans were to retire the machine from flying and performing engine runs (and put under cover permanently at the spot specially created for this during constuction of the park) in 2013 (which is the year that has started today).
