Replica John F Kennedy Air Force One project

[dc8flightdeck]

After many months of work and a deput weekend at the Ft. Worth Alliance airshow we delivered the new JFK Air Force One replica to the Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas and it is now open for display.

The donor plane was 727 modified into a Nixon 707 (VC-137) replica for a movie. After years of display in places such as Branson we were asked to converte it into a JFK 1963 replica for the 50th commemeration in Dallas, Texas. The cockpit features some hard to find 707 parts. We replaced the old the 707 overhead with 707 panel from the 707 replica used on the set of the TV show "Pan Am'.

Before we touched it the main instrument panels were full of instruments other than 707.
