VC-121 as in Air Force One in 1959 (26 Photos)

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 09:04 PM PDT

The presidential call sign was established for security purposes during the administration of Dwight D. Eisenhower. The change stemmed from a 1953 incident where an Eastern Airlines commercial flight (8610) had the same call sign as a flight the president was on (Air Force 8610). The aircraft accidentally entered the same airspace, and after the incident the unique call sign "Air Force One" was introduced for the presidential aircraft. The first official flight of Air Force One was in 1959 during the Eisenhower administration.  Eisenhower introduced four propeller driven aircraft to presidential service. This group included two Lockheed C-121 Constellations, the aircraft named Columbine II (VC-121A 48-610, stored since 2003 at Marana Regional Airport in Arizona) and Columbine III (VC-121E 53-7885, transferred to the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in 1966 and placed on display).  They were named by First Lady Mamie Eisenhower after the columbine, the official state flower of her adopted home state of Colorado.
