On July, 1955 VARIG started flying to the USA, inaugurating its first intercontinental line, with three Lockheed L-1049 G Super Constellations, PP-VDA, PP-VDB and PP-VDC. VARIG’s first flight to the USA occurred on August 2, 1955 and flew to New York, initially with two weekly flights. VARIG’s fourth Super G Constellation, PP-VDD, arrived on November 18, 1957, followed by this aircraft, PP-VDE on December 11, 1957 and finally PP-VDF on January 17, 1958. Those last three had the longer nose and tip-tanks, allowing greater range. Flights to New York were able to be made with one only stop, in either Port of Spain or Trujillo, depending on the winds. In June 1967 PP-VDB, PP-VDC and PP-VDE were scrapped at Porto Alegre,
