Pima Air Museum Lockheed Constellation Columbine (# 0650)

Pima Air Museum Lockheed Constellation Columbine (# 0650)
This is an improved version of the original Lockheed Constellation, used by the Air Force for long-range VIP transports. This particular one, called "Columbine" after the state flower of Colorado, was used by Eisenhower when he was commander of Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, the predecessor to NATO.
