The Nixon Library announced and revealed its plans to build a new educational center on its Yorba Linda campus and kicked off those plans with a grand sendoff for the Presidential Helicopter as it temporarily departs the campus for a complete restoration at March Field Air Museum in Riverside, California.
The completely-restored helicopter will return in 2028 as a centerpiece of this new building. The six-ton Sikorsky VH-3A “Sea King” served from 1961 to 1976 as a flying Oval Office for Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford.
The new building will serve as the home of the Nixon Library’s Center for American Civics Education, an educational initiative of the Richard Nixon Foundation with interactive programs aimed at encouraging a broader understanding of our country’s systems of government.
