Photo Comment

After 26 years of service this JetStar was retired to the NMUSAF in July 1987 where it is now on display in the Presidential Gallery of the newer, fourth building. Lyndon B. Johnson used the VC-140B fleet extensively during his time both as VP and President and sometimes affectionately referred to them as 'Air Force One Half' due to their smaller size.
