According to aviation expert Ralph Pettersen, the aircraft is actually an L1649A Starliner, which was an L1049 Super Constellation with a totally re-designed wing and more powerful versions of the R3350 engine; It was the last of the Constellation line and only 44 were built due to the imminent introduction of the jet airliner in the late 1950s.
