Warbird Wednesday!

A little late today, but that’s because I just got back from Bridgewater, Virginia. I was there to catch a Connie, officially know is the Lockheed VC-121A Constellation. This particular Connie, named Columbine II, was the first aircraft to carry the call-sign “Air Force One.” It was used to transport then President Dwight D. Eisenhower. This afternoon Columbine II arrived from Tucson, Arizona to her new home at Bridgewater Airpark, Virginia to be restored. I’ll have more photos and information in the coming days.
