Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library uses the full-size Boeing aircraft that served as Air Force One to explain presidential travel, command, security and diplomatic reach. Further military aircraft displayed at the grounds connect the institution to Cold War operations. The aviation component emphasizes real presidential transport aircraft and Cold War-era flight hardware displayed as part of a broad presidency-history museum. Visitors may tour the historic Air Force One aircraft subject to museum arrangements. The adjacent Marine One helicopter, fighter and stealth aircraft are separate physical aircraft, not film sets or small-scale models. The aircraft records are selected documented collection entries rather than a complete inventory. An aircraft may be temporarily away from the museum, held in storage, undergoing restoration, or represented by a replica or partial airframe. An unknown display status does not mean the aircraft can be seen during a visit. Confirm opening arrangements and specific aircraft access with the institution before traveling.
