We have been reporting on this story for some time now, ever since Karl Stoltzfus – Dynamic Aviation’s founder – decided to rescue this extraordinary aircraft from almost certain doom in May, 2015. The team is restoring Columbine II, a Lockheed VC-121A Constellation (USAF s/n 48-610) which was once the official U.S. Air Force transport for President Dwight D. Eisenhower back in the early 1950s. This is the first aircraft which ever used the radio call sign ‘Air Force One’. The restoration team is hard at work, and we bring details of recent progress.

Just over a year ago, in February 2019, we published a story about ambitious plans to build an accurate, airworthy replica of the iconic, though all-but-extinct Fokker D.21 229. The Dutch fighter is coming close to completion, here is the latest report.
