With all the chat about the president landing twin engine jets an aircraft carriers, I thought maybe some of you would be interested in the above.

Columbine II at Santa Fe was flown to an auction in Texas maybe a year ago--but didn't get a high enough price so it came back to New Mexico.

Sits real pretty! And it's been decently restored, other than the interior.

Connies are cool looking.

I have ridden in Save A Connies plane once. A ride to 10,000 feet in that thing was great, but not much faster than a 182 with 4 skinny dudes, a skinny jump pilot, 12 gallons of gas and the 300 HP Continental conversion. Was a joy to ride in though and was awe inspiring...to say the least.

Yes...this picture is borrowed from a web site for the World Freefall Convention...and yes I have been to quite a few of those and jumped Save A Connie's Connie. Here is a link to the picture available on the WFFC's website...
