The First Air Force One Has Taken To The Skies Once Again.
Columbine II, a gorgeous Lockheed Constellation (military designation Lockheed VC-121A-LO) that flew President Eisenhower. (www.facebook.com) Más...Now if they can only get the one here at KSLN up and flying again.
Thanks for sharing.. Some real history, very good to see.
The Lockheed Constellation immortalized in W.E.B. Griffin Honor series
I thought this one was up at Wright Pat in the Air Force Museum. They must have another Connie dressed up to look like it. Very nice to see the real one rise again.
The Connie at Wright Pat is Columbine III, the third and final Columbine-named Air Force One used by President Eisenhower. Columbine II and III were newer models of their predecessors.
Thanks 30west! A day is never wasted if you learn something.
Got to admit kinda shocked this wasn't already in a collection somewhere.
