SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (NewsNation) — How the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation commemorates the 20th anniversary of the death of the nation’s 40th president, Reagan’s achievements remain poignant and memorable.

The jet transported Reagan more than 660,000 miles to 26 foreign countries and 46 U.S. states during his eight years in office. He accomplished many things while on board, including handwriting many of his speeches, signing important legislation, and officially starting the NASCAR race from Daytona Beach, Florida, by phone.

Other presidents, including Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon, George HW Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, also used the plane during its 28 years of service.

Reagan’s commitment to face-to-face diplomacy was critical to his success in promoting peace and democracy. He died of pneumonia on June 5, 2004, aged 93.
