SAM 27000 was the normal call sign of the VC-137C (Boeing 707-353) presidential aircraft. SAM stands for 'Special Air Missions', the dedicated VIP detachment of the 89th Airlift Wing at Andrews AFB, Maryland.

SAM 27000 now resides at the Nixon presidential library in Yorba Linda, California, currently undergoing restoration.
