English: A U.S. Navy Lockheed S-3B Viking (BuNo 159387) at the National Museum of Naval Aviation, Pensacola, Florida (USA). This aircraft made history on 1 May 2003 when the former U.S. president George W. Bush was a passenger during a carrier arrested landing on board the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). It was assigned to sea control squadron VS-35 Sea Wolves, Carrier Air Wing 14 (CVW-14). Just two months later it was accepted by the museum as an exhibit and as at September 2008 can be seen on the backlot tour. It was the first time that a U.S. president arrived on a carrier by plane, and not by ship or helicopter. The S-3B was therefore designated "NAVY ONE" for this flight (in correspondance with the presidential Boeing E-4B "Air Force One" aircraft, which is, however, operated by the USAF).
