VC-137 Boeing 707 Air Force One History:

Boeing VC-137C with call sign SAM (Special Air Mission) 26000 is perhaps the best-known and most historically significant presidential aircraft. It first entered service in 1962 during the John F. Kennedy administration, and was the first aircraft in the United States designated solely for presidential purpose. The plane served as the primary means of transportation for three presidents: Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Richard Nixon during his first term. In 1972, during the Nixon administration, it was replaced by another 707, SAM 27000, although it was kept as a back-up plane until 1998.

John F. Kennedy flew on SAM 26000 for only a single year, using other presidential aircraft occasionally. On November 22, 1963, the plane carried President Kennedy to Dallas, Texas. Later that afternoon, Kennedy was assassinated, and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson assumed the job of president and took the oath of office aboard SAM 26000. At Johnson's request, the plane carried Kennedy's body back to Washington. It also flew over Arlington National Cemetery as Kennedy was being laid to rest, following 50 fighter jets.

Lyndon B. Johnson was SAM 26000's most frequent flyer, traveling more than 523,000 miles aboard it during his five years as president. Significant alterations to the plane took place during the Johnson years, such as new seats and a crescent shaped table for LBJ in the presidential cabin. Upon the inauguration of Richard Nixon in 1969, SAM 26000 was rendered to undergo a major revamping with repairs and upgrades, and the finished plane reflected the new president's persona. In 1972, Nixon made historically significant trips to the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China on SAM 26000.
