My personal favorite Connie AEW is... the WV-2E (EC-121L) - one built as a testbed for rotating radar dome with an AN/APS-70 radar, first flight 1956.
Lockheed WV-2E Warning Star (BuNo 126512, c/n 1049A-4301) modified with the radar in a rotodome above the aircraft. This aircraft was retired to NAF Litchfield Park, Arizona (USA), for storage on 5 June 1962. It was redesignated EC-121L in November 1962 and scrapped on 18 February 1965:
