What is the feeling of flying on Air Force One?

Only a handful of Americans (including Donald Trump - at least until now) had the honor of sitting on Air Force One aircraft (AFO).

According to CNN, the Air Force One aircraft (AFO) is used to serve presidents and families, secret agents, waiters, and journalists who are in command with the commander in the rear cabin. of this plane. How does it feel to fly with it? Below is a note of CNN reporter:

We stayed on this AFO for three generations of US presidents, flying through nearly 50 states and dozens of countries. These were great experiences when flying on a private plane but with the tight control of the US military. You will have a sense of honor mixed with a little frizz by the formal, strict atmosphere on this aircraft.

AFO defeated both missiles and chemical weapons, even a winged bunker against nuclear weapons.

The aircraft reserved for the president is well-equipped with bullet-proof ability and ability to withstand and withstand nuclear attacks. Of course the aircraft or any vehicle carrying the president must be bulletproof , but AFO defeated both missiles and chemical weapons, even a winged anti-nuclear bunker. Then the AFO's defenses can damage enemy radar.

AFO is also capable of self-refueling without needing to land on the airport in special circumstances. (In addition to the default fuel cap in the wings like other Boeing 747s, the AFO has a gas-filled lid on the nose of the aircraft with a powerful electromagnet system that can suck up the gas pipe from the refueling aircraft ). And unlike the President, the press is not allowed to use the built-in security communication system on the plane.

The average speed of this AFO aircraft is over 1127km / hour, while commercial Boeing 747s rarely exceed the limit of 1041km / hour. During their journeys, the AFO always had escort aircraft, and with such a tremendous speed, the AFO made escorting aircraft difficult to catch up. Even US Air Force Colonel Mark Tillman once asked AFO to slow down a bit to keep up.

Seeing with the naked eye, flying on the AFO plane is like flying on other commercial flights. If you need to fly somewhere, you still need to go through security checkpoints. The seat on this plane, at least in its tail, provides a very comfortable feeling, just like the VIP seat for business class of the current large commercial aircraft.

But on the other hand, the feeling of traveling on Air Force One is not the same as regular flights. This aircraft creates a sense of power, security, and a bit of pressure for anyone inside it.

Everything on the plane, from the cup of coffee to the bottle of Tabasco or the mouthwash tube in the bathroom are labeled with the President's mark - as a constant, constant reminder of the most important character. of this aircraft. On the road flights, when sleeping, the president is very hard to hold his head somewhere in the cabin. By the 371m ² floor, AFO has enough room for the president and the guards, senior officials to travel, discuss, work comfortably, the president's private area is a fully furnished apartment with a bedroom, Bathroom, gym with treadmill, located near the presidential room are emergency room and 2 spacious kitchens.

Unlike other fledgling commercial airplanes (half-year-old AFO age), these two special 747 aircraft are designed and maintained in perfect condition thanks to Air Force US employees. . These diligent employees carefully prepared meals for the shortest flight (the 20-minute flight from Philadelphia to Washington last month was also well prepared).

When you are on the AFO, there will never be a problem of loosing your back because the seat is uncomfortable, nor is it that your belongings are squeezed under the seat. With AFO, there is no waiting concept. As soon as the President appeared, the plane was in a state ready to take off. It is flown in the shortest and straightest way. No chaos, no transitions - this plane will take the president to the destination in a fast and most convenient way.

When in need of contact, the president always has nearly 90 satellite phones to direct, chat, and advise people related to the work (although the use of these satellite phones is quite complicated). The president's staff has wifi on the plane to communicate and communicate with their colleagues wherever you are. Even so, during the flight, journalists are not allowed to use such tools and means of communication (to be fair, we feel happy by this "privilege" ).

The plane takes two colors white - green is the main color - the long symbol of the US government. It is the symbol that travels to most continents, landing at various places like Midway Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean - where the image of a landing plane is of great historical significance.

There are very few similar planes that can go to so many different locations. Is there another plane that can carry a large bed, bathroom with shower, presidential desk, and a mini operating room that can land at the remote Al-Asad air base at Anbar province of Afghanistan?

During Obama's tenure, the aircraft took this famous president to places where this long-standing blue-and-white had not come a decade ago. The plane landed twice in Burma.

After a long time with this special plane, Obama revealed that he will miss AFO when he left the White House.

"You took good care of me , " President Obama told a Air Force Academy graduate student in June. " You're always on time. You never miss my luggage. I don't need to take off my shoes when I'm on the plane, I really will miss Air Force One , " he said.
