Museum Phone

One of my favorite parts of the Museum of Flight is the Air Force One that they have parked there. You can go inside and see all kinds of crazy JFK/Johnson era stuff, including this phone which was used by the secretary to whomever was flying at the time. This particular plane has quite an interesting history, being the one flown by LBJ to Dallas (though he returned on another), used by Nikita Khrushcev to tour the US, and Nixon to tour China. It was the primary Air Force One from 1959-1962, but remained in the fleet until 1996.
