A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category P3D / P4D Add-Ons - General Military repaints
Description: This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Lockheed L049 Constellation in the colors of 48-610 "Columbine II". It was delivered to the USAF as a C-121A in 1949 and was used for flights between MacArthur Field NY and Keflavik on Iceland in 1949. It was then converted to VC-121A and became the presidential aircraft "Columbine II" for president Eisenhower until 1954. After 1954 is was used as a VIP aircraft for the remainder of its Air Force career, with a brief stint in Thailand as N9907F during 1955. It was retired in 1968 and used for spares by Christler Flying Service between 1970 and 1984, registered as N9463. It was restored to flying condition in 1989-90 by Mel Christler and Harry Oliver and made some flights in 1990-91. Attempts to sell it were unsuccesful,a nd the aircraft was stored at Avra Valley airport until 2015, when it was sold to Dynamic Aviation of Bridgewater VA, who are hoping to restore it and to fly it on airshows.
Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paint kit by A2A.
