The Lockheed VC-140B Jetstar at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. According to the museum web site, "JetStars could operate from runways too small for larger USAF jet transports.
The VC-140B provided fast and economical travel for several US presidents. Whenever the president was aboard, it flew under the radio call sign Air Force One. Lyndon B. Johnson used JetStars extensively during his time both as vice president and president, and because of the aircraft's small size, he sometimes referred to them as 'Air Force One Half.'"
