or at least one of the several...that the navy has sent to the Reno air races for the past few years. It sits on standby for any potential military mishaps at the east end of the field.

Great news! I wonder why the NMNA didn't want it for display at Pensacola. I believe the only other Presidential bird they have is the S-3 in which W. landed on USS Abe Licncoln.

They also have one of the Marine One H-3's still in the presidential scheme. I don't know the history of it or which president(s) used it. It could have been one of the decoys. It's not in the museum but I saw it sitting outside of the restoration shop last week.
