Some more really cool tail numbers:

26000
27000
28000
29000</font>
26000 was the 707 (really a C-137) that took JFK to Dallas and brought the body and President Johnson back as Air Force 1.

27000 was it's replacement (another 707/C-137) as Air Force 1.

28000 and 29000 are the two VC-25s (converted 747-200s) that replaced the 707s as Air Force 1.
