Found this artist conception of the new Reagan Library Air Force One display center, and it seems it sets a new standard for 707 aircraft displays in residential areas.
Small joke! This is quite a hangar! I noticed an F-15 also displayed there, though perhaps a B-1A would be more appropriate... My question was, what F-15 is it? Was a special F-15 chosen, a pre production straight tipped prototype for example, or a Mig Killer or what? This is perhaps the best display site I have seen for a lucky aircraft to be static displayed! As a further, here is the Boeing release fragment stating how much they give away in hours, probably divided between DOC' and the 307.

"The Boeing Company is the world's leading aerospace company, with its heritage mirroring the history of flight. It is the largest manufacturer of satellites, commercial jetliners, and military aircraft. The company is also a global market leader in missile defense, human space flight, and launch services. In terms of sales, Boeing is the largest U.S. exporter. Total company revenues for 2002 were $54 billion. In California, Boeing employs more than 36,000 workers who, along with the Company, contributed more than $8.8 million in cash, surplus equipment and in-kind services to California communities and more than 26,000 hours to community and educational volunteer activities in 2002."
Does the RAF have a "Queens" Flight aircraft?
