SAM 26000 on display in the Presidential Gallery at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. This icon has been a part of so much history, serving eight American presidents from Kennedy to Clinton. It was this aircraft that carried President Kennedy to Dallas and brought his body back to Washington, D.C. in Nov 1963. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as the new president on board. The livery of the first presidential jet designed by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and famous industrial designer Raymond Loewy remains unmatched.
