Regardless of how you feel about the sitting President, I think that there’s one thing that a lot of us would like to do, and that’s to fly onboard Air Force 1. That movie with Harrison Ford notwithstanding, I think it’s a great plane.

The National Geographic channel recently aired their show about the plane, and I watched it for the 3rd time. I don’t know if I watched it 3 times because it’s that good, or because I like the plane.

Just so you know, Air Force One is the call sign for any plane that the President is flying in, it’s not the call sign/ registration number of the plane itself.

Here are a couple of pictures for your perusal.

At the end of the National Geographic show that I was talking about earlier, President elect Obama rides on a plane like this one, and not on the B747 derivative plane:
