Yes, this was the official Presidential aircraft when Ike's Columbine III (a Super-Connie) was retired as JFK was sworn in. The Air Force had three VC-137A (Boeing 707-153), but these were part of the general VIP airlift pool, not reserved for POTUS use alone. The "true" AF1 (#26000), a VC-137C wasn't in service till late 1962.

@faja8792 I just noticed that too. Would be interesting to see the 'real' one.

any aircraft the president flies on is designated air force one

@compukenny correct m8-air force one stops being af1 once the pres is off,even helicopters carrying him are then labelled af1-even though the plane is a symbol of the office,it is similar to the queen,wherever the queen is staying they fly a flag called the royal standard,and it isnt allowed to fly at buckingham palace unless she is inside
Hey - this is NOT Air Force One - check the tail numbers - Kennedy's Air Force One was "26000"

I believe you are thinking of the plane in the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. Take a look at the video called "Air Force Museum - The Presidents". The plane in Dayton is the one that carried the President's body back from Dallas.
