Description


------------
Ronald Reagan Library, Simi Valley, California
--------
In November, 2005, I was privileged to attend a Holiday Party at the Reagan Library (a company event).

The dinner was held in the hangar museum where Air Force One (from the Reagan era) is on display and can be toured.

The most surprising thing about the vintage Presidential Plane it that the interior of the plane is tiny, by today's standards.

I see that this is also the locale for the Bill O'Reilly/George W. Bush recent interview: November, 2010.

I used to work for the Airline that repaired and maintained this aircraft on the west coast of the USA! I have stood by this plane many times. Just was never allowed in. :) Only maintenance could go in.

Cool image, Michelle.
