The foundation is raising money to build a pavilion to house the Air Force One that Reagan used
during his presidency and that was retired on Sept. 8, 2001. The Boeing 707 was first used by
President Nixon in 1973. During its life span the plane was also used by Presidents Ford, Carter
and the first President Bush as their lead planes, and Clinton and the current president as back-up
planes. Reagan Foundation officials have targeted mid-2004 for completion of the pavilion.

1. They put a new Air Force One into service Sept. 8, 2001?

Didn't know that.

[Kellanved]

2. no - they retired the old-timer

The current AF 1 (actually there are two of them) is in service since 1990.

[htuttle]

4. Ah, I see

It says that Bush was using it as a backup AF1, not the main one, before it was retired.

[Kellanved]

5. yup

SAM 26000 and SAM 27000 AF1 Eisenhower/Kennedy to Bush sr (707s)
SAM 28000 and SAM 29000 AF1 Bush Sr to today (747s)

3. That's probably when the 747 went into service.

The Wright Patterson Air Force Museum inb Dayton Ohio has many of the presidential aircraft. Since they are operated by the Air Force that seems the reasonable place for it to go.

But this isn't exactly a reasonable week.

6. For the record, "Air Force One" is a call-sign, not an aircraft.

Granted, it is a call-sign almost always assigned to one of the USAF B-747s. However, if the president is on an Air Force Gulfstream-5, it's call-sign is "Air Force One." If the VP is on a US Army Gulfstream, the call-sign would be "Army Two." The Marine helos that transport the president from the White House to Camp David and Andrews AFB use the call-sign "Marine One."

7. Right, said AF1 for clarity/lack of confusion, love the story about AF1,

when they were taking the other traitor nixon home and calling in to reassign the call sign at 12 noon when they no longer were carrying the president.

8. The C2A on which * "flew" out to the carrier was

Air Force One during its trip.

[DemoTex]

14. Actually, it was "Navy One."

No way a Navy Viking is going to use the call-sign "Air Force!"

9. Yep,

I've read that the 747 that is known as Air Force One when it has the chimp on board will be taking Ronnie to DC.

The whole cost for Ronniepalooza is $20 Million.

WE get to spring for it.

Thanks Ronnie! One more Fuck you! from beyond the grave.

The 707 was purchased by the library (probably at a VERY reasonable price) to be housed and displayed on the grounds.

10. Why NOT there are no homeless or children needing vaccines

</sarcasm>

They all swill from the public trough.

11. Reagan's still contributing to our deficit

from the grave. Who would have thought?

13. Ronniepalooza! Good one!

I'm going to have to start using that here at work.

12. It belongs at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Museum

That's where the rest of the Presidential planes are, I believe
