United States of America: Air Force One

I live in a town that has a closed Air Force Base that was huge in its heyday. Now it is home to a big Air Museum that has loads of cool air planes from years of military aviation history. Castle Air Museum was lucky to win a bid last year to add a retired Air Force One plane to their collection. This plane is recorded as having once flown former Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton as well as several former first ladies; Rosalynn Carter, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush. It also also served all vice presidents from Walter Mondale, George H.W. Bush, Dan Quayle, Al Gore and Dick Cheney. It is pretty cool.

A few weeks ago, they moved the plane to its final display place on the museum property. Here is a picture of Air Force One next to a famed SR-71 Blackhawk. If you enjoy military planes, check this out next time you are in California.
