"Columbine III" on display in the Presidential Gallery at NMUSAF. This was the third Connie to carry the name of the state flower of Colorado, where the First Lady grew up. Gen. Eisenhower used VC-121A 48-614 "Columbine" as CO of SHAPE. He briefly used VC-121A 48-610 "Columbine II" as President. This VC-121E was started as a USN R7V-1. It was modified during production, square windows replacing the portholes. The plush Super Connie featured a teletype, TV and a telephone link. It was President Eisenhower's aircraft from 1954 till 1961 and the last primary piston-engined Air Force One.

Eisenhower's presidential plane in Colorado Springs. His wife was from Colorado and the columbine is the state's 'official flower'. The sole VC-121E served in the VIP fleet until 1965, but apparently repainted and no longer named Columbine III after Ike left office in January 1961. He first flew on a VC-137A in December 1959.
