The recently restored Lockheed C-121A Constellation Bataan appeared at EAA AirVenture 2023 in Oshkosh.
This was the first time a Connie, in military or civilian configuration, attended AirVenture since the mid-2000s.
Bataan was initially used for military transport and later served as the personal transport of General Douglas MacArthur before being retired and eventually acquired by the Air Legends Foundation.
