Obama's Air Force 1

Inside Obama's Air Force 1

Enjoy this sneak peak inside Obama's lavish and high tech Air Force 1!  Air Force one is a Boeing 747-200B that has been modified to meet presidential requirements. Capable of refueling midair, Air Force one has unlimited range and can carry the President wherever he needs to travel

 

 

 

 

 

Its capabilities include:

• Longer range for presidential travel
• Aerial refueling
• Self-sufficiency at airports around the world

 

 

 

 

 

 

The "flying Oval Office" has 4,000 square feet of interior floor space. Among its accommodations are:

• Conference/dining room
• Quarters for the president and the first lady
• An office area for senior staff members
• Another office that converts into a medical facility when necessary
• Work and rest areas for the presidential staff, media representatives and Air Force crews
• Two galleys that can provide 100 meals at one sitting
• Multi-frequency radios for air-to-air, air-to-ground and satellite communications

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Principal differences between Air Force one and the standard Boeing 747 include state-of-the-art navigation, electronic and communications equipment; its interior configuration and furnishings; self-contained baggage loader; and front and aft air-stairs.
