Air Force One

This picture taken of Air Force One Presidential Jet that is on display at Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington.  This plane actually had three names:
VC-137 where V stands for VIP Transport, C stands for Cargo and 137 is the identification number.
SAM 970 where SAM stands for Special Air Missions and 970 is the last three digits of the tail number.
Air Force One is a temporary call sign used by traffic controllers while it has the President aboard.
This particular Boeing 707 carried many Presidents including Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon.
