So I looked it up.

This weekend, a plane will touch down in the center of Washington. Actually, it will be half a plane, a Boeing 727 replica of Air Force One that will be the highlight of InauguralFest, a week-long event from Jan. 16-24 in the parking lot of the old convention center in downtown Washington (1100 H Street NW).

...the Boeing used to operate as the campaign plane for John Kerry and John Edwards, the Democrats who lost in the 2004 presidential race. Warlick purchased the jet, sans engine and wings, for $250,000 last year, then repainted it and repurposed the inside to resemble Air Force One. (President George H.W. Bush upgraded to a 747, so Warlick says the smaller plane looks more like what Ronald Reagan used.)
