We visited the Richard Nixon Presidential Library yesterday. It is located in Yorba Linda, California just a few miles from my home. The Presidential Helicopter is a popular exhibit there. Photographs may be taken outside, but, once inside they are not allowed. Please click images to enlarge, especially the sign that tells the story of this aircraft.
The sky was very bright and blue yesterday, following a full day of rain the day before.

Interesting, I didn't realize that you could find such things at a presidential library. We lived near the Reagan Library for years but never visited.
pretty interesting post. didn't know about the presidential helicopter.
Woah! That is soo cool! Haven't heard about that one. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting post, terrific captures and, oh, what lovely blue skies! Looks as though you had the best of the best that day, Carolyn! Thanks for sharing the fun!

I like the way you incorperate a day trip adventure for a skywatch post Thanks
Nice pictures. I love helicopters. I wonder why they won't let you take interior shots?
Very cool exhibit.
Lovely California blue skies. I have heard about the Reagan library but I did not know about the Presidential helicopter. That must be a cool place to visit, thanks for sharing your tour.
Wow, and I was thinking you, like really new sombody at the top. Very cool pics of the copter. Wouldn't it be cool to see the sky from on high and inside.
Great pictures.. My first time to see that presidential helicopter. thanks for sharing.

Hi Carolyn, another addition to my list of "gems to visit". I have read about it and I did not expect it to be this pretty. I think there is free admission during one of the Holidays. hehehe, I better make use of that.
P.S. There is another Carolyn USA in the Skywatch link.
Carolyn: Very nicely captured with the copter against the blue sky.
Great photos. I'd love to see the inside of the copter. I hope its warmed up for you.
Super post Carolyn!
I was with my Hubs at the Pentagon many years ago and we saw the Presidents helicopter.
I got chills reading that his chair in the cabin is as he left it.
The helicopter
no longer flies through the skies—
grounded forever.
