It has an area of  and is located on the main crest of the Northern Black Forest, mainly between the Black Forest High Road (Schwarzwaldhochstraße) and the valley of the Murg. It comprises two separate areas, roughly 3.5 kilometres apart, around Ruhestein (7,615 ha) and Hoher Ochsenkopf/Plättig (2,447 ha) and is part of the Central/North Black Forest Nature Park (Naturpark Schwarzwald Mitte/Nord). The park was officially opened on 3 May 2014

History
The Black Forest National Park was created on 1 January 2014 and is the first national park in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The state parliament voted for its establishment on 28 November 2013.

The establishment of the first national park in the Black Forest was politically controversial. In 2013, it was opposed by Baden-Württemberg's opposition parties (CDU and FDP), by representatives of the timber industry and by some of the affected population, whilst being supported by the SPD and Greens, the conservation associations and other parts of the populations of the Northern Black Forest. It is the first and only Nationalparc in Baden-Württemberg.

In 2021 the minister for environment Thekla Walker (A90/The Greens) announed plans to extent the Nationalparc and eventualy connect the two parts in the following years.

Location and extent
The northern part of the area, the High Ochsenkopf / Plättig includes the upper Schwarzenbach valley and the regions around the High Ochsenkopf () in the centre, the Mehliskopf (1,008 m) in the west, the Badener Höhe (1,003 m) in the north and the Nägeliskopf (994 m) in the east. The lowest and most easterly point of this park is at the confluence of the Schwarzbach and Raumünzach streams, at a height of just below 500 m. Excluded are the village of Herrenwies as well as smaller areas around Plättig, Sand and the youth hostel of Badener Höhe. In the northeast, it borders to the Schwarzenbach Reservoir, and in the west to the Bühlerhöhe beyond the Black Forest High Road. Most of the state forest here belongs to the municipality of Forbach (in the county of Rastatt). The towns of Bühl (Rastatt) and Baden-Baden own other municipal forests in the area around Plättig.

The greater part of the Ruhestein area extends reaches a height of approximately  near Dreifürstenstein in the southeasternmost summit region of the Hornisgrinde, the highest mountain in the northern Black Forest. Other summits are the bird's head (Vogelskopf) (1,056 m) and the Schliffkopf (1,054 m) to the west, the Seekopf (1,054 m) in the northwest, the Riesenköpfle (1,001 m) in the centre, the Leinkopf (992 m) in the north and the Großhahnberg (940 m) in the northeast. In this southern part of the National Park are the tarns of Wildsee, Huzenbacher See and Buhlbachsee and the upper Schönmünz valley and the headwaters of the Murg headstreams, the Rechtmurg and Rotmurg and other Murg tributaries. On the western slopes of the Schliffkopf this subregions extends down as far as the All Saints Waterfalls, where it reaches is lowest and most westerly point at a height of approximately 500 m. Excluded from the Ruhestein area are the Ruhestein itself with its two ski slopes and the Great Ruhestein Ski Jump, the Darmstädter Hut, the Schliffkopf Hotel, the Rotmurg Hunting Lodge, the hamlet of Schonmünz (Volzenhäuser) and other small areas. The state forest land here belongs mainly to the collective municipality of Baiersbronn (in the county of Freudenstadt), other elements belong to Oppenau, Ottenhöfen and Seebach (in the county of Ortenaukreis).

The park covers an area of 10,062 hectares, of which 2,447 hectares are within the High Ochsenkopf/Plättig and 7,615 hectares around the Ruhestein. The two areas are separated by the Forbach parish of Hundsbach.

title: John Edge

text:
Sir John Edge (28 July 1841 – 30 July 1926) was Chief Justice in the Allahabad High Court, India, during the British Raj era. A member of the Middle Temple, of which he acted for some time as treasurer, he was also appointed a judicial member of the Council of India and a member of the Privy Council.

Early life
John Edge was the only child of Benjamin Booker Edge and his wife, Esther Anne. He was born on 28 July 1841 in Queen's County, Ireland (now County Laois). His family claimed a Saxon origin and had been in Ireland since the Stuart period.

Edge was privately educated prior to attending Trinity College Dublin between 1858 and 1861. He was awarded both B.A. and LL.B. degrees from that institution and was called to the Irish bar in 1864 as a member of the King's Inns in Dublin. Two years later, he was admitted to the English bar by the Middle Temple and proceeded to practise in the north of that country.

Career
In 1886, Edge became a Queen's Counsel, was made a Knight Bachelor and appointed Chief Justice of the high court of the North-Western Provinces, British India. He replaced William Comer Petheram in that role and was based in Allahabad.

Holding office until 1898, Edge proved to be a capable leader of a court that included several other very talented judges. He also demonstrated considerable administrative skills, such as arranging for the codification of the court's rules and, between 1887 and 1893, serving as the first vice-chancellor of the University of Allahabad. He also headed the famine relief committee set up in response to the 1896 famine in India.

In January 1899, after his recent retirement from the Chief Justice role, Edge became a judicial member of the Council of India and retained that role until 1908. It was at this time that he was also elected to the bench of the Middle Temple, of which he served as treasurer in 1919. In 1902, he also served on a Royal Commission that investigated the Boer War and in 1905 was involved in an inquiry that ultimately had a part in the creation of the Court of Criminal Appeal.

Edge became a privy counsellor in January 1909 and in that role he heard many legal appeals from India between 1916 and May 1926, when he retired completely, just short of his 85th birthday.

Family
Edge married Laura Loughborough, the daughter of a solicitor from Surrey in England, in September 1867. The couple had one son and four daughters.

Death
John Edge died suddenly on 30 July 1926 at his house, 123 Oakwood Court in Kensington, London.

title: Gilmanton Academy

text:
Gilmanton Academy is a historic school building on Province Road in Gilmanton, New Hampshire.  Built in 1894, it is a well-preserved example of a 19th-century academy building, and was one of the last to be built in the state.  The building, now housing town offices and the local historical society, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Description and history
The former Gilmanton Academy building occupies a prominent location in the village center of Gilmanton, at the back of a semicircular drive between the Congregational church and the public library.  It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, its main section covered by a hip roof and wooden clapboards.  A projecting gabled section to the front, and a hip-roofed section to the rear, combine to give the building a roughly cruciform shape.  The inner corners on either side of the front projection are filled by single-bay two-story blocks with a lower profile.  The front gable facade has fluted corner pilasters, which rise to an entablature and fully pedimented gable.  The entrance is recessed in the center bay, which is also articulated by pilasters, with the recess topped by an entablature and broken gable pediment.

The building was erected in 1894, and was the third main building for the Academy, which was founded in 1794 as a private school.  It is one of the last private academy buildings to be built in the state, which had ten years earlier required towns to fund secondary education, leading to a decline in enrollments at such private schools.  The building was designed by Bodwell & Sargent of Concord, one of whose principals was a Gilmanton native.  The school closed in 1910, and the building was leased to the town for use as a school in 1916.  It served first as the town's public high school, and then as an elementary school, until 1966.  It is now owned by the town, and houses the town clerk's office.

The unincorporated and uninhabited township of Atkinson and Gilmanton Academy Grant in northern New Hampshire is named in part for the academy, to which it was originally granted.

title: Futurology (song)

text:
"Futurology" is the second single released by the Manic Street Preachers from their twelfth studio album, Futurology. The song features keyboards from Super Furry Animals member Cian Ciaran. The single was released on 22 September 2014. It is a duet between James Dean Bradfield, the main vocalist, and Nicky Wire, the band's bassist.

Background

The song was first revealed at the Manic Street Preachers tour in the First Direct Arena on 28 March 2014, where the band debuted songs from their new album. On a track by track made by Gigwise the song was described as: "Brief bubbling space-age noises introduce the title track before a burst of Everything Must Go guitars kick off. The positive pine of Bradfield's vocal acts as an immediate sign that this is not going to be The Holy Bible pt II - or a continuation of any of their past work at all. While it may be a wonderfully typically Manics slice of arena rock, this track has a spirit to it that you've not heard from the band before."

According to the band, the song and lyrics were both written by Wire, and he said that the song, in a way, reflects the belief in humanity, where Wire has the faith that something positive will happen, thus the chorus: We'll come back one day, we never really went away (...).

The song, according to the band, came really naturally, and it was a critical aspect that pointed the positive vibe that the all record has, being one of the most optimistic records ever that the Manic Street Preachers have produced and released.  The song was recorded in Hansa Studios in Berlin, like most of the album.

Release

The song was made available by Digital download on Monday, 22 September, besides the single, it contains two extra songs, Antisocialmanifesto and Kodawari. It also featured a remix of Futurology made by R. Seiliog.

Music video
The music video directed by Kieran Evans was uploaded to the band's official VEVO account on YouTube on 10 August 2014.

title: Parc Georges-Brassens

text:
Parc Georges-Brassens  is a public park located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, between rue des Morillons and rue de Périchaux.  Opened in 1984, it occupies 7.74 hectares on the site of a former fish market, horse market and slaughterhouse, and preserves some of the old market structures.  It is named for the French popular singer Georges Brassens (1921–1981) who lived in the neighborhood of the park at 9 impasse Florimont and 42 rue Santos Dumont.   The nearest metro stations to the park are Convention and Porte-de-Vanves.

History
The markets and slaughterhouse had been built on the site between 1894 and 1897, and were gradually closed down between 1969 and 1979.  The city of Paris considered  first using the site for public housing or a sports complex, but engineers discovered that the ground was unstable due to the presence of abandoned quarries, and would have involved considerable improvements, so it was decided to build a park instead.

The new park was designed by the architects Ghiulamila and Milliex and the landscape architect Collin.  After the public outcry that followed the destruction of the structures of the old Paris central market, Les Halles,  the architects decided to keep some of the original structures of the old market, notably the gateway, the bell tower of the old fish market and the iron-framed shelter of the horse market.  At the same time, they needed to integrate several public buildings into the park, including a pre-school, a center for senior citizens, and a theater;  and to use greenery to conceal the building of the prefecture of police, next to the park.

Features of the Park

The central feature of the park is a large pond, bordered by lawns and groves of trees.  The park also has a rose garden and a garden of medicinal and aromatic plants.  The sloping hill of the park features a vineyard, a winding stream, and a jumble of artificial stones for children to climb.  The highest part of the park is home to a collection of beehives.

The central entrance gates to the park are topped by two sculptures of bulls by Isidore Bonheur, a note to the site's former use as a slaughterhouse. An old gateway is crowned by a bronze horse's head. The old bell tower of the former fish market stands beside the pond,  and the former shelter of the horse market is now used on weekends as a market for old books.  The park also has a bust of Georges Brassens made in 1989 by the sculptor André Greck.

WRC 4: FIA World Rally Championship is the official racing video game of the 2013 World Rally Championship season. It was developed by Milestone srl being the last WRC Videogame to be developed by Milestone. WRC 4 was released in Europe on 25 October 2013.

Per the calendar, Rally New Zealand was removed from the previous game, while Rallye Deutschland and Rally Mexico both had revised routes.

Reception

The game had mixed reviews. The general consensus is that "the career mode is a lot of fun and the tracks are varied. On the other hand, the game lacks challenge, has an overabundance of loading times and disappoints audiovisually." It got to number 21 in the UK sales charts.

title: Flowell, Utah

text:
Flowell is an unincorporated community in Millard County, Utah, United States.

Geography
Flowell is a small farming village in the Pavant Valley, approximately  west of Fillmore, the county seat. The town of Meadow is about  to the south, across I-15. Utah State Route 100 connects Flowell with Fillmore to the east, and with U.S. Route 50 to the north. Just west of Flowell is the Ice Springs lava flow, part of the Black Rock Desert volcanic field, and a location that had an eruption less than 1,000 years ago.

History

In July 1915, Brigham Tomkinson drilled the first successful artesian well west of Fillmore, turning worthless desert into rich farmland and setting off a wave of well drilling in eastern Millard County. The center of this activity was first named Crystal, then Flowell after the freely-flowing wells. A school was built in 1919, and a post office in 1922. In the 1930s, Flowell built a community recreation hall with federal assistance from the Works Progress Administration.

title: David Laurent de Lara

text:
David Laurent de Lara (c.1806, Amsterdam - 1876) was a London-based, Dutch-born limner of Spanish descent. He has been described as a pioneer who helped illumination to become recognised as an artform in its own right at a time when very few had ready access to the original illuminated manuscripts or to fine quality reproductions. His illuminated Hebrew calendar and almanac, and a portrait of Hananel De Castro, 1840-1 president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, led to his being greatly admired among London's Jewish community. He exhibited a custom-designed illuminated chess table for the Queen and Prince Albert at The Great Exhibition of 1851.

Laurent de Lara published Elementary instruction in the Art of Illumination, and Missal Painting on Vellum in 1850, which went to several editions. From the second expanded edition (1857), he described himself on the title page as illuminating artist to Queen Victoria, though he may simply have supplied teaching materials to the Royal children, if not actually taught them illumination which they were studying from at least 1855. The book consisted of 48 pages, with six illustrations, four coloured, and was published by the firm of Ackermann, who specialised in such instructive books and also sold the papers, designs and pigments called for in order to follow the instructions within. In the book, Laurent de Lara described Henry Noel Humphreys's Illuminated Books of the Middle Ages as too advanced for a beginner, and did not mention Humphreys' 1856 book The Art of Illumination and Missal Painting, which Alice H. R. H. Beckwith points out was the first manual for illuminators, although aimed at professionals rather than to the amateurs targeted by Laurent de Lara.

Beckwith has argued that while Laurent de Lara was a good self-promoter, he was not skilled at his art, and suggests that it was him who J. Willis Brooks called an "unprincipled adventurer" who exploited impoverished female illuminators. In 1857 Laurent de Lara had established the Illuminating Art Society. Its first exhibition in 1859, was reviewed by The Art Journal, and The Athenaeum, though any subsequent shows appear to not have been reviewed. Illumination was promoted as an acceptable form of employment for women, enabling highly educated ladies to occupy themselves in an appropriately non-menial way by creating illuminated material for sale. The Illuminating Art Union was supported by an annual subscription of £1/1s from its patronesses, who received an original illumination on vellum made by "less affluent members" as a premium. In Brooks's words, this exploited women "to place their excellent taste and skill, for worse than starvation prices, at the disposal of some unprincipled adventurer, ignorant himself of the very rudiments of the art he professes to teach." By 1860, the Art Journal had changed its mind, and argued that it was not possible for a woman to support herself through illumination.

Beckwith notes that by the 1860s, Laurent de Lara's manual had competition in the form of other, more successfully developed publications by Winsor & Newton, George Rowney & Company, and J. Barnard and Son; and says he failed to grasp the idea that illumination was about a unity between text and ornament. Instead, Laurent de Lara suggested that illumination was about the carefully drawn mechanical repetition of fussy detail.

According to his granddaughter, the pianist and composer Adelina de Lara's autobiography, David Laurent de Lara was the son of a Spanish count called Laurent de Lara. David married a London-born Polish Jewish woman, Sarah Cracour.

title: George Bednar

text:
George John Bednar (March 16, 1942 – December 6, 2007) was an American college football player for the University of Notre Dame, who later became as a business executive.  He is most well known for his tenure as a marketing executive for McKesson Imports Company, where he was instrumental in popularizing the Harvey Wallbanger cocktail.

Early life and education

Bednar was born in Kingston, Pennsylvania, and attended Central Catholic High School in Kingston (now amalgamated with Holy Redeemer High School in Wilkes-Barre).  He graduated from Central Catholic in 1960, after achieving success as a high school football player.

He then attended the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, where he played offensive guard and defensive tackle for coach Joe Kuharich's Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team from 1960 to 1963.  After completing his college career, Bednar played in the Blue-Grey All-Star Game and the College All-Star Game.  Bednar graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1964 with a Bachelor of Arts in economics, and married.

NFL Draft

Bednar was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals of the National Football League in the eighth round of the 1964 NFL Draft.  Although he signed with Cardinals, he never played in a regular season NFL game.

Executive career

Bednar became the marketing/sales director for McKesson Imports Company.  Bednar marketed the Harvey Wallbanger cocktail in the early 1970s by suggesting bartenders on America's West Coast promote the cocktail.  During this time, McKesson hired graphic artist Bill Young to develop a "Harvey Wallbanger" character to market the drink, which tends to negate the attribution of the drink and its name to bartender Donatao "Duke" Antone. Various authors have speculated that Bednar may have commissioned recipe for the drink itself from Antone, or developed it internally.

The drink is composed of vodka, orange juice and Galliano liqueur, then a product of McKesson Imports.  Sales of Galliano quadrupled after Bednar helped develop the Wallbanger character and tagline "Harvey Wallbanger is the name... And I can be made!"

Building on his success at McKesson, Bednar later became an entrepreneur.  He founded International Marketing Group, Inc. in 1976 to provide marketing consulting services to the wine and spirits industry, and creating promotions for Bacardi, Stolichnaya, and Johnny Walker.

In the early 1980s, Bednar and business partner Anthony Wright founded Promotion Systems, Inc. to provide promotion and marketing consulting services to broader companies, such as Johnson & Johnson, Playtex and Seagrams.  In 2004, Bednar founded SunCalc, Ltd., which marketed sunlight measuring devices to home gardeners.

Personal interests

Bednar was a shooting sports enthusiast in later life.  In 1981, Bednar bought the Sandanona Shooting Preserve in Millbrook, New York, the oldest private shooting preserve in the United States.  Bednar built a premier shooting school on the premises as well as a sporting clays course.  A top-tier sporting clays competitor, Bednar also served on the board of directors of the Sporting Clays Association of America.

Family life and death

In 1964, Bednar married his wife Francis.  They had three children.  At the time of his death from a prolonged illness in 2007, he had eight grandchildren.

title: Cavinti Church

text:
The Transfiguration of Our Lord Parish Church is the only Roman Catholic church in Cavinti, Laguna, Philippines. Its titular patron is  or commonly known as El Salvador del Mundo (Divine Savior of the World) whose feast day is celebrated every August 6. The Our Lady of Snows () and St. Joseph, husband of Mary served as the town's secondary patrons.

History

Cavinti was part of the ecclesiastical administration of the town of Lumbang until 1619 with Alonso de Ampudia  as parish priest. The first church was made up of temporary materials as the stome version came later. The church was built at an unusual location that had been revealed to two men known as the Puhawan brothers. This legend says that these two brothers were searching for something to eat when they discovered an image of El Salvador at this spot in the early 1600s. When they took the picture to their home in Lumban, in their amazement, they found that the image is lost. They continued to look and were amazed to find the image in exactly the place they first found it. The church of Cavinti now stands on the holy ground where the image was discovered.

The first stone church and convent were built in 1621 under the supervision of Pedro de San Martin, but it was severely damaged during the 1639 Chinese uprising. Cavinti became an independent parish from Lumban in 1819. Three years later a belltower was started for the church and this was completed by 1831 despite the 1824 earthquake which partially damaged the stone church and totally destroyed the convent. The present church was first built during Manuel Benitez's term in 1834 and was completed by Manuel Gonzalez before 1851.

One of the largest earthquakes in the Philippines, the Luzon earthquake, happened in July 1880. It completely destroyed the church's belltower and it also damaged the church walls. Another earthquake in 1937 also damaged the church walls.

title: In This Corner of the World (film)

text:
is a 2016 Japanese animated wartime drama film produced by MAPPA, co-written and directed by Sunao Katabuchi, featuring character designs by Hidenori Matsubara and music by Kotringo. The film is based on the manga of the same name written and illustrated by Fumiyo Kōno. It premiered in Japan on November 12, 2016. Animatsu Entertainment licensed the global distribution rights of the film in June 2016. Shout! Factory acquired the distribution rights for North America, with a U.S. theatrical release on August 11, 2017, co-released by Funimation Films. An extended version of the film, titled , premiered on December 20, 2019 and surpassed the extended 70mm cut of Final Yamato by five minutes to become the longest theatrical animated film to date.

The film is set in the 1930s–1940s in Hiroshima and Kure in Japan, roughly 10 years before and after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, but mainly in 1944–45. In the film, nature and traditional culture in Japan are clearly described and contrasted with the cruel and irredeemable scenes brought by the war. Though it is a fictional account, the official guidebook of the film claims that the episodes and background of the story are based on facts and real incidents of the lost townscape of pre-war Hiroshima damaged by the bombing, as researched by the production staff.

Plot
A cheerful and easily distracted woman named Suzu lives in a seaside town called Eba near Hiroshima. As a child, Suzu enjoys sketching and painting the world around her, often viewing her surroundings through a surrealistic blend of real scenery and art-inspired flourishes that permeate her vision. As her proficiency for art increases, Suzu paints a superb picture for her childhood friend and crush, Tetsu, as he stares at the sea and laments the death of his brother, who drowned during his service as a sailor. In 1943, 18-year-old Suzu marries a young military clerk named Shusaku, whom she had met as a child, and joins his family in Kure, a large naval port city 15 miles away from Hiroshima City. As she adjusts to her new life, the threat of the Pacific War begins to encroach on the townspeople.

As food shortages become commonplace, the government implements food rationing. Warning and evacuation preparations against United States air raids begin. Suzu, as a housewife in a Tonarigumi, takes turns overseeing food distribution, attends training against air raids, and makes women's trousers fit for emergency evacuation by cutting traditional clothing, such as kimonos. The family builds an air-raid shelter in their garden.

Suzu and Shusaku's family house is located on a hillside with a view of the Combined Fleet in the harbor, including the largest battleships, the Yamato and Musashi. Suzu enjoys viewing boats on the sea with her niece, Harumi.

Harumi and her mother Keiko had been living in another city. Keiko is an independent modern woman who had chosen her own husband who ran a watch shop. Keiko had met her husband in his shop when she went to get a watch. He died young leaving Keiko, Harumi and a son behind. Keiko's husband's family took over the family's watch business and Keiko left her husband's home leaving her son, the legal heir of her husband, behind.

One day, while sketching the bay area and some visiting ships, Suzu is accosted by the military police who come close to accusing her of espionage because of the potential intelligence value of her drawings. Suzu is horrified, but her adopted family laughs off the incident, exclaiming at length that Suzu is too lackadaisical and good-natured for espionage.

In December 1944, Suzu's childhood friend and crush Tetsu, now a sailor in the Imperial Navy, visits Suzu; he has been assigned to the Japanese cruiser Aoba, stationed in Kure. Understanding that it might be Suzu's last chance to see Tetsu alive, Shusaku leaves them alone to talk. Though he confessed his love for her, Suzu told him she loved her husband more than anything. The next spring, Shusaku is drafted by the Navy and quartered with troops in Otake City, 40 miles away.

In 1945, the Americans begin air raids on the Japanese mainland; in Kure, US Navy aircraft bomb the port. In addition to the death of her brother Yōichi, Suzu loses her niece and her right hand when a time-delayed bomb detonates close to them, killing Harumi and losing her dominant right hand. The guilt Suzu feels over the death of her niece couple with the loss of the hand she used to draw and paint sends Suzu into a depression.
As her depression worsens, Suzu debates returning to the safety of her hometown in Hiroshima City in time for the summer festival; when she is unable to see a doctor, she decides to stay an extra week in Kure. That morning, Suzu and Keiko notice a bizarre light, followed by a sudden quake. The radio doesn't work and then the family sees a towering cloud in the direction of Hiroshima City. They soon learn that a new, devastating bomb has fallen on Hiroshima City, killing countless citizens. For a while, Suzu is unable to get information about her hometown.

A few days later, in a radio address, the Emperor of Japan announces the end of the War. Suzu, having grown accustomed to the single-minded focus of keeping the family alive, is forced to accept the reality of her losses and falls into despair. American forces then arrive and occupy Kure, providing food to the local population. Suzu visits her grandmother Ito's family house in Kusatsu, a rural town to the west of Hiroshima and out of the affected area, to see her sister Sumi, the only survivor of Suzu's family. Sumi informs her of the fate of their parents: their mother had left for supplies and is presumed to be one of the 70,000 people who were killed instantly by the initial blast and shock wave while their father died a few months later after falling ill and succumbing to possible radiation poisoning. Sumi herself has fallen seriously ill from the radiation. Shusaku returns and reunites with Suzu. They come across an orphaned girl and adopt her. Suzu regains her passion for life slowly, with the courage and affection of her friends and family. As the credits roll, their adopted daughter is shown growing up in the Hojo residence, sewing clothes, aided by Suzu in post-war Japan.

title: Columbine II

text:
Columbine II is a Lockheed VC-121A-LO Constellation (Air Force Serial Number 48–0610, Lockheed Model 749-79-36); the aircraft that was to become the first plane to use the Air Force One callsign and the only presidential aircraft ever sold to a private party.  The aircraft was ferried from long-term storage in the Sonoran Desert at Marana Regional Airport, Arizona, to the east coast for restoration in March 2016.

Presidential aircraft
Columbine II was built as a C-121A at Burbank, California and bailed to Lockheed to support the Lockheed Air Service International maintenance facility at Keflavík, Iceland. In November 1952, President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower used the aircraft to travel to South Korea. Early in 1953 this aircraft was converted to VC-121A-LO standard for use by President Eisenhower, until replaced by VC-121E-LO Columbine III (AF Ser. No. 53-7885), operated by the 1254th Air Transport Squadron of the United States Air Force (USAF).

Preservation

After being replaced, Columbine II continued in service with the United States Air Force until retired to Davis–Monthan Air Force Base for storage during the late 1960s. The aircraft was sold as part of a package lot to Mel Christler, a Wyoming businessman who owned a crop-dusting service, and was made airworthy in 1989 and flown to Abilene, Kansas for Eisenhower's 100th birthday celebration and to an air show at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland.  In 2003, it was flown to Marana Regional Airport, Arizona.

The aircraft owner was considering cutting the aircraft up as scrap when the Smithsonian Institution, during a research project, contacted the owner and informed him that 48-0610 was, in fact, a former presidential aircraft. The owner then, in the hope of finding a new owner willing to display the aircraft, attempted to sell the plane at auction, but it was not sold.

Columbine II was purchased and moved from Arizona to Bridgewater, Virginia in March 2016 for restoration by Dynamic Aviation.  The purchase price has not been disclosed, but the purchaser, Karl D. Stoltzfus Sr., founder of Dynamic Aviation, has said it was less than $1.5 million.  Dynamic Aviation mechanics did significant work on the plane in Arizona in preparation for its flight to Virginia. The restoration is expected to take several years to complete.

Call-sign "Air Force One"
Columbine II was the first plane to bear the call sign Air Force One. This designation for the U.S. Air Force aircraft carrying the incumbent president was established after an incident in 1953, when Eastern Air Lines 8610, a commercial flight, crossed paths with Air Force 8610, which was carrying President Eisenhower.
