@JPL:
Reposted from downstairs, because more relevant here:
I keep hearing about “Air Force One” being the backdrop. If I’m not mistaken (haven’t tried to verify, so could well be wrong), any plane the (current) President of the United States is on is “AF1” even if it’s not the craft all tricked out with luxury appointments and special security apparatus. The backdrop plane at the Reagan Library may well be the actual aircraft that was known as AF1 during all or part of Reagan’s presidency, but I think once he left office the plane lost that designation.
As I say, could be way wrong here, and happy to be corrected if that’s the case.

No, but Reagan was lobbying for it to be given to his library before he left the presidency. Old “Air Force 1’s” are popular museum exhibits, and the Air Force gets first dibs and keeps them for the Wright Patterson museum.

I was going to go on a road trip today. I’m off work. Went to get in my car and the battery was completely dead. The car is only 18 months old. I didn’t leave anything on to drain the battery, the car only has 4200 miles on it. Could have used the wife’s car, she is out of town for a while, except I parked right behind her and couldn’t get her car out.
Called roadside assistance from the manufacturer and got a jump. The car is now idling in the driveway charging the battery. Hopefully it is only the battery.

AP:
SANTIAGO, Chile — A powerful magnitude-8.3 earthquake hit off Chile’s northern coast Wednesday night, causing buildings to sway in Santiago and other cities and sending people running into the streets.
At least three aftershocks above magnitude-6 and other strong shakes rattled the region as tsunami alarms sounded in the port of Valparaiso in the first major quake since a powerful quake and tsunami killed hundreds in 2010 and leveled part of a southern Chilean city.
Officials ordered people to evacuate low-lying areas along the 2,400 miles (3,900 kilometers) of Chile’s Pacific shore, from Puerto Aysen in the south to Arica in the north. Cars streamed inland carrying people to higher ground.
There were no immediate reports of injuries, but authorities said some adobe houses collapsed in the inland city of Illapel, about 175 miles (280 kilometers) north of Santiago.
Illapel’s mayor, Denis Cortes, told a local television station that electricity was out in the city. “We are very scared. Our city panicked,” he said.
The U.S. Geological Survey initially reported the quake at a preliminary magnitude of 7.9 but quickly revised the reading upward to 8.3. U.S. officials said the quake struck just offshore in the Pacific at 7:54 p.m. (6:54 p.m. EDT, 1154 GMT) and was centered about 141 miles (228 kilometers) north-northwest of Santiago. It said the quake was 4.8 miles (5 kilometers) below the surface.
A magnitude-8.8 quake and ensuing tsunami in central Chile in 2010 killed more than 500 people, destroyed 220,000 homes, and washed away docks, riverfronts and seaside resorts. That quake released so much energy, it actually it shortened the Earth’s day by a fraction of a second by changing the planet’s rotation.

Marine 1 is the designation for the helicopter the president is using. IIRC from a recent TV show, Navy 1 would also be used if the president was on a naval plane.
