SIMI VALLEY, CA - MARCH 19: The former Marine One helicopter ends its final flight, from Norfolk, Virginia, by landing on a scaled-down replica of the White House South Lawn at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum after 42 years of service March 19, 2004 in Simi Valley, California.

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/local/states/california/peninsula/8230047.htm) - A former Marine One helicopter is now a Ronald Reagan Presidential Library museum piece.
A green Sikorsky VH-3A that once ferried Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon and Gerald R. Ford during their White House years floated to a landing Friday on the library's replica of the South Lawn. It recently completed a cross-country flight from Norfolk, Va.
One of Reagan's most memorable moments aboard a presidential helicopter came in 1989 when he left the White House for the last time and had the pilot circle over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, according to his biography. Reagan pointed to the White House and said to wife Nancy, "Look honey, there's our little shack."
Mrs. Reagan had been scheduled to attend the helicopter's arrival but she ill with a bronchial infection, library executive director Duke Blackwood said.
After a welcoming ceremony, the helicopter was being moved to the nearby Air Force One Pavilion construction site to roost next to the gleaming silver, blue and white Boeing 707 until completion of the presidential transportation pavilion. The library addition will open next year.
The retired Boeing 707, which has its wings removed while in storage at the hilltop library, served as Air Force One for 28 years, ferrying Reagan and six other U.S. presidents. It was used by Nixon, Ford, Jimmy Carter, Reagan, Bill Clinton and both George Bushes.
The jet will be reassembled later this year to be on public display in 2005 when the pavilion opens with Air Force One, Marine One, a military fighter jet and a presidential limousine.
