On display in the Presidential Gallery at NMUSAF. This aircraft replaced FDR's VC-54 "Sacred Cow" on 4 July 1947 as the air transport for President Harry S. Truman. Named "The Independence" after Truman's hometown of Independence, Missouri, the aircraft featured many improvements including reversible pitch propellers, weather radar, autopilot and larger fuel tanks. The aircraft was retired from presidential service in May 1953. It went on display in the museum in 1965.
