Went to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley on the Fourth of July, just north of Los Angeles.
The museum/library has a large hanger to house the Air Force One that was used by President Reagan and Marine One, the Presidential Helicopter.
One side of the large hanger building is made of glass and you can look over vast valleys and make for dramatic look. It's tough to shoot as you are inside and there is one bright side with day time light coming in. I think for the Fourth, they hung a large Flag, so it was nice to shoot the flag for the Independence Day for a more patriotic feel.

4. Playing with perspectives. The tip of the nose/tail/wings almost touch the edge of the railings and the walls of the hanger, the plane is impressively big and it's amazing to think a thing this big can fly. You can see people going inside the Air Force One to view the interiors on the left.
4. Playing with angles/composition.
5. View from outside the hanger.
6. Old Gippers Portrait done with his favorite snack, Jelly Beans. You can see reflection of Marine one in the glass.
