      MSGID: 2:292/854 1e0b2b1d       REPLY: 207.aviation@1:218/700 2d5a4185       TZUTC: 0200        KW> I would love to be able to walk through a (declassified) VC25 in a       KW> museum somewhere.               A declassified VC25A is not for anytime real soon. And the question remains       where they will end up (if they are not designated some other tasks, remember       low miles and low number of cycles). Most likely Donald Trump will want one       for his presidential library though a disused and parked 747 still costs a       fortune to maintain.               At present there are 3 former Presidential 707s that can be visited.               VC-137B SAM 970, which was used as Air Force One from 1959 to 1962 and       remained in the presidential fleet until 1996.        The Museum of Flight (Seattle, Washington               VC-137C SAM 26000, the first jet built specifically for presidential airlift.       It served eight presidents and is displayed at the National Museum of the U.S.       Air Force (Dayton, Ohio). This is the aircraft which carried the casket with       the remains of JFK from Dallas back to Washington Nov.22 1963               VC-137C SAM 27000, the other famous 707, which served presidents from Nixon to       G.W. Bush. Ronald Reagan Presidential Library (Simi Valley, California).       Initially this plane was on display at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library       at Yorba Linda in California.              --- DB4 - 20230201        * Origin: AVIATION ECHO HQ (2:292/854)       SEEN-BY: 80/1 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/1 226/30 227/114 229/110 317 400 426 428 470 664 700       SEEN-BY: 229/705 280/464 291/111 292/854 2226 8125 301/1 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 335/364 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26 5001/100       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 292/854 229/426           |
