The 87,000-square-foot pavilion features the plane that President Ronald Reagan used throughout his years in office. The aircraft was also used by six other presidents, including the current president, who was the last one to fly in the Boeing 707 in 2001.

A total of 600 people are expected to attend the ceremony.

President Bush will arrive in California on Thursday to speak at a Los Angeles fund-raising event that night for the Republican National Committee.
