One of the few civilian aircraft at the Castle Air Museum is this VC-9C. This aircraft was one of three VC-9Cs procured for use by the President, Vice President, their families and other senior US government officials. On occasion the VC-9 was used when the destination airport could not accommodate the larger VC-137 (707) or later VC-25 (747) aircraft. This aircraft was operated by the 89th Airlift Wing from 1975 to 2005, serving the administrations of Presidents Ford, Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush.
