During the past fifteen years the Lockheed Constellation has been recognized as a historically significant aircraft and very few of the remaining fifty or so airframes have been scrapped. Many of these aircraft have been restored from near-derelict condition and are now valued museum exhibits. There are also a number of aircraft that have simply faded away and can only be presumed scrapped since there have been no sightings for a number of years.
