AIR FORCE ONE

The Troy's Work Table family headed up to Seattle's Museum of Flight on Presidents' Day. We marveled at the short span of time from the flight of the Wright brothers to the current day of jumbo jets and spacecraft. The best part, however, was getting to board the plane that served as Air Force One for presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Lyndon, and Nixon on Presidents' Day!


SAM970 flew under the call sign "Air Force One" for four sitting U.S. Presidents.


Buttons and switches galore.


SAM970 has a fascinating history, having flown four U.S. Presidents, as well as Soviet premier Nikita Khruschev on a tour of U.S. cities and Secretary of State to secret meetings with the Viet Cong in Paris during the Vietnam War.
