Preserving the Past.
Inspiring the Future.
Join the Mission to Restore A National Symbol, The First Air Force One.
Where We’re Headed
The First Air Force One Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to restoring and preserving Columbine II, the first aircraft to bear the call sign “Air Force One.” Through restoration, education, and public engagement, our vision is to return this historic aircraft to the skies as a living, flying museum that inspires students, honors veterans, and reminds future generations of the values that define America.

Student Engagement

This is not just an aircraft project—it is a living platform for education, inspiration, and unity.
