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.

The Connie actually has a triple tail. The fuselage is hiding almost all of it (you can see the tip just over the top of the fuselage).
ReplyDeleteThe forward section of the jet in the last picture is an A-4 Skyhawk. Probably an E or F model.
