One of the biggest reasons I wanted to see the Air Force Museum in Dayton was the Presidential collection, they have three presidential aircraft on display. Starting with a plane that was customized for Roosevelt (with a wheelchair lift), one from Truman, and then the 707 that brought JFK home from Dallas, the took Nixon to China. The planes are open, with a narrow glass corridor down through the middle, you can stand where Johnson took the oath of office. Sometime in the next decade or so, a 747 will join the collection. I might go back for that.
