about kansas city downtown
Downtown Kansas City is the central business district (CBD) of Kansas City, Missouri and the Kansas City metropolitan area. It is between the Missouri River in the north, to 31st Street in the south; and from the Kansas–Missouri state line east to Bruce R. Watkins Drive as defined by the Downtown Council of Kansas City;[1] the 2010 Greater Downtown Area Plan formulated by the City of Kansas City defines the Greater Downtown Area to be the city limits of North Kansas City and Missouri to the north, the Kansas–Missouri state line to the west, 31st Street to the south and Woodland Avenue to the east.[2] However, the definition used by the Downtown Council is the most commonly accepted.
In March 2012, Downtown Kansas City was selected as one of America's Best downtowns by Forbes magazine for its rich culture in arts, numerous fountains, upscale shopping, and various local cuisine - most notably barbecue.

A Trip to the National WWI Museum and Memorial
On April 6th, 1917, Congress declared war on Germany, thrusting the United States into the Great War. It wasn’t until December 7th of that same year that Congress would declare war on Austria-Hungary. Between 1914 and 1918 six continents were involved in the War to End All Wars. In this time, technological advancements were being made at a record-breaking pace. The WWI Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri shows many of the advances made in this period alongside the human stories that brought the war to the home front 100 years ago.

In 1986 a group of Kansas City based aviation enthusiasts decided they were going to find, acquire, and restore to like new condition a Lockheed Super G Constellation, model L-1049G. They found a derelict Connie, registration number N6937C, in storage at Falcon Field in Mesa, Arizona. It was one of the last Constellations off Lockheed's assembly lines in 1958, and was built as a cargo plane for Slick Airways.
Indeed, Kansas City was probably the only place in the world where this transformation could have taken place. There was a core of retired TWA employees living here: pilots, flight engineers, mechanics, hostesses, etc. All specialists in every aspect of propeller driven aircraft in general, and Constellations in particular.
After 18 months in the hangar at Kansas City Downtown Airport, the Connie emerged, resplendent in her new Save A Connie livery. The Lockheed Constellation was converted from cargo to passenger configuration. She promptly began flying the Airshow circuit, where she continues to awe and inspire. In the late 90's, employees from TWA's Kansas City overhaul base donated a completely new paint job in the original TWA colors.
The Star of America has been involved in television and movie releases, as well as several television commercials. It was featured in the Arts and Entertainment documentary entitled First Flights, narrated by Astronaut Neil Armstrong, and the motion picture, Voyager starring Sam Shepard released in the U.S. in 1992. The Connie was also used for interior scenes for the movie, Ace Ventura - When Nature Calls, in 1995, starring Jim Carrey. You also see this Super Constellation in The Aviator starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes.
The Lockheed Constellation Connie was a four engine each with 18 pistons of Radial design, the Wright R-3350 (also used on the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, C-97 Stratofreighter and Douglas DC-7) propeller-driven airliner built by Lockheed between 1943 and 1958 at its Burbank, California, USA, facility. A total of 856 aircraft were produced in four models, all distinguished by a triple-tail design and dolphin-shaped fuselage. The Constellation was used as a civilian airliner and as a U.S. military air transport plane, seeing service in the Berlin Airlift. It was the presidential aircraft for U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower Columbine I, II and III.
Since 1937, Lockheed had been working on the L-044 Excalibur, a four-engine pressurized airliner. In 1939, Trans World Airlines TWA, at the encouragement of major stockholder Howard Hughes, requested a 40-passenger transcontinental airliner with 3,500 mi (5,630 km) range - well beyond the capabilities of the Excalibur design. TWA's requirements led to the L-049 Constellation.
The Constellation's wing design was close to that of the P-38 Lightning, differing mostly in scale The distinctive triple tail kept the aircraft's overall height low enough to fit in existing hangars while new features included hydraulically-boosted controls and a thermal de-icing system used on wing and tail leading edges.The plane had a top speed of over 340 mph, a cruise speed of 300 mph, and a service ceiling of 24,000 ft.
The advent of jet airliners, with the de Havilland Comet, Boeing 707, Douglas DC-8 and Convair 880, rendered the piston-engined Constellation obsolete. The first routes lost to jets were the long overseas routes, but Constellations continued to fly domestic routes. The last scheduled passenger flight of a four-engined piston-engined airliner in the United States was made by a TWA L749 on May 11, 1967 from Philadelphia to Kansas City, MO. However, Constellations remained in freight service for years to come, and were the mainstay of Eastern Airlines' shuttle service between New York, Washington, and Boston until 1968.
