Wasn't the Air Force One that landed in Dallas in 1963 an all jet engine Boeing 707? I am assuming that this was used in the first year or so of his presidency?

I wonder how the old one cost compared to the present one's?

Why do they call it a REST room ?

The last AF1 he flew on is at the Air Force museum in Dayton, Ohio.
Nice pics of the older one!

Well considering the increased cost of labor, the fact that they now have jet engines rather than props, the fact that they now have AAM/GAM flares, heightened electronics, satellite capabilities and other technology, I am guessing a h3ll of a lot more.

Oh, and don't forget the pork-belly inflation costs...
