The First Air Force One Has Taken To The Skies Once Again.

I love it when a plan comes together.
Got to admit kinda shocked this wasn't already in a collection somewhere.

Is there another link for those of us that don't have Book of Faces ?

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.

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.

Last time I saw this Connie was at the Pima Air Museum complete with Kennedy's orthopedic chair. It was in 2003, IIRC. A 707 painted with AF1 livery was just across the spot where the Connie was parked. I was told by the curator that the Connie was the presidential aircraft prior to the 707s being delivered.

Nostalgia revisited .

If ever there was an airliner with the grace, poise, and classic good looks of Greta Garbo, this is it.
