Description 7/22/14: Massive "Naval Constellation" at the (now defunct) Chanute AFB Museum at Rantoul, Illinois. I just got there in time! It closed the next year. Luckily this great aircraft was preserved in Michigan. Thanks to www.deviantart.com/eric-s-huff…  for the info and update!

Was it sent to Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti?

Yep!  Willow Run!  That's where it went!  Sweet!

I'll look it up.  I was at Willow Run back in '97 with my dad.  Photographed some DC-6s and DC-3s they had there, most of which were still functional at the time.  They even did an engine test on one of the DC-6s while we were there.  My dad calls it the "Pterodactyl Farm" because at the time the most modern aircraft they had flying out of there was a DC-8!
