A historic airplane has returned to the skies as Columbine II, a 1948 Lockheed C-121A Constellation that holds the claim to fame of being the very first airplane to be called Air Force One, took off yesterday from the Marana Regional Airport in Marana, Arizona, where it has been parked since 2003.
After being available for sale for several years, the airplane was purchased last year by Bridgewater, Virginia-based Dynamic Aviation. The company, with help from Mid America Flight Museum, has brought Columbine II back to life.
A fantastic achievement bringing the VC-121 back to life.
Well done!
