A Robinson R22 copter, used for cattle herding, lands at Reagan Library’s South Lawn
A Robinson R22 helicopter used for modern cattle herding landed on the South Lawn at Reagan Library on Tuesday to join a new exhibition opening on October 18 at the library in Simi Valley.
Melissa Giller, chief marketing officer at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute said, “We are delighted to welcome the Robinson Ronald Reagan–branded R22 helicopter to the Reagan Library. Its arrival is a memorable way to kick off excitement for our upcoming exhibition, ‘Cowboys: History & Hollywood’. The R22 is a powerful reminder of how the cowboy’s tools have evolved—from horses on the open range to helicopters in modern ranching—while the spirit of strength and hard work remains the same.”

The 10,000-square-foot exhibition will include memorabilia from classic Western films, rare photographs, authentic gear and historic artifacts.
“It’s a privilege to present an exhibition that explores both the history and the Hollywood magic of the American cowboy,” said David Trulio, president and CEO of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute in a prepared statement. “President Reagan himself embodied the cowboy spirit through his values of hard work, liberty, and determination.”
