It's not often that something with ties to my old home of Arizona happens here in Virginia, and it's even rarer when it involves aviation as well! Last week I made the several hours' drive to Bridgewater to welcome Columbine II, which was so gorgeously documented in the Marana threads here on AZAP. I had never seen a Constellation fly, so it was a real treat!

The old bird actually looks to be in pretty nice shape!
