The Lockheed EC-121 Warning Star


 I found this picture of a Constellation with radomes in an old Popular Electronics magazine, figured it must have been an artist's rendition of someone's fantasy but nope, there are lots of better pictures online.
 The Navy actually ordered 142 of these aircraft and used them for all sorts of early warning duties over the years. They were in service from 1949 till the mid seventies with one remaining- on display at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola.
