THIS Was Dwight D Eisenhower’s Air Force One. This plane! {A Lockheed Constellation} And it’s just sitting here, in a rural airport on Arizona, rusting:
THESE Are Beechcraft Starships, made 53 but only sold 11. The rest until rented out to executives, that business just wasn’t making enough money. So they scrapped them, and a couple of guys picked some up cheap. Then stored them here.
BONUS: For return readers:
This plane is not abandoned, the owners were restoring it. I have no idea what it is.














That C-130 is, I believe, a DC-4 (or -6). The droop nose 4 engine with the twin tail is a Connie (Constellation). Great pics. Thanks for sharing.
