From the AP - "Ventura County firefighters protect the fusilage of Air Force One (used during Ronal Regan's (sic) term as President) as smoke passes overhead at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, right, Sunday, Oct. 26, 2003, in Simi Valley, Calif. The fire has destroyed several homes and burned more than 45,000 acres."
At last word, firefighters are still protecting this symbol of President Reagan's term of office from destruction by fire. God bless these men and women regardless of their political persuasion.
Note - AP cannot seem to speel the name of the greatest President the same way in this little article.
As far as I know, it's only the part of the plane you see (no wings) that is at the Reagan Library, but the body of Air Force One is not open to the public yet. I thought it had been covered with a blue tarp, but I guess not.
I don't know if the library is still in danger of burning. I hope not.
