Ten total presidential aircraft and four you can walk through at the Dayton USAF museum [1]! You can walk through SAM 26000, the VC-137C used by 8 presidents including Kennedy. Amazing collection.

SAM 26000 must be one of the most historic aircraft in the world - being the place Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in after the assassination of JFK:

They also have a rather large space museum. Unfortunately a lot it is filled with old rockets though.
