Is than an actual ex-AF1 in the debate hangar or a replica of a Boeing? In the photo on CNN’s site; I’m looking for the live stream.

It's the real thing and very impressive. It had to be broken into parts to be trucked up the very winding road that leads up to the Reagan Library.

Re: Is than an actual ex-AF1 in the debate hangar...

It is a real one. From Reagan Library Page:

"...the Boeing 707 aircraft utilized as Air Force One during Reagan's administration. The aircraft, SAM 27000, was also used by six other presidents in its active service life from 1973–2001, including Richard Nixon during his second term, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. In 1990 it became a backup aircraft after the Boeing 747s were brought into service and was retired in 2001. The aircraft was flown to San Bernardino International Airport in September 2001 where it was presented to the Reagan Foundation."

Yes, it’s real and you can actually walk through it, as well as have your picture taken at the door that Ronaldus Magnus used to have his picture taken at. It is an outstanding display and an excellent museum.
