Striped blue and white aircraft types Boeing VC-25 which is a modification of the Boeing 747-200B was often referred to as Air Force One, even though Air Force One itself is actually callsign for the plane carrying the U.S. president, whatever his plane.
Here are the write-ups on Air Force One that was published in the magazine Commando, a special edition of the U.S. presidential aircraft. Not just the physical plane that became the symbol of the presence of U.S. President, but other symbols attached to it shows who the passengers:
When the wheels of VC-25 Air Force One touched down in friendly countries, the aircraft is not only a symbol of the United States presidency, but at the same time subtly power projection.
Unlike other countries that use only one presidential plane and come in low profile, the coming U.S. presidential plane is always a great show. U.S. demands more than just carpet red carpet and rows of soldiers honor. Air Force One comes with a complete package, and the always troublesome country visited.
Besides accompanied or preceded by C-17 Globemaster III or C-5 Galaxy that brings all the equipment of the president, such as helicopter Marine One, the presidential limousine, and the U.S. Secret Service agents, can be sure the air space around the airport had to be emptied. Other flights delayed or canceled, and the area around the parking lot AF I also have to be sterilized and even guarded by agents of the U.S. Secret Service. Impressed extravagant, excessive, and not appreciating the jurisdiction and sovereignty of the country served by it. However, the fact that surfaced in each country has ever visited the U.S. president.
Despite all the controversy, in terms of military strength and technology, few could match the U.S.. Plus of U.S. foreign policy that held the war in various countries, it was clear the U.S. President has always been a hotbed of various parties who are not like U.S. policy. When the U.S. president in the country only receives up to 300 threat every day, it was clear the amount of threat would be greater if he traveled abroad.
Thus, each visit Air Force One is the U.S. forces in fine performances. The aircraft is designed unlike other presidential aircraft. Communication system capable of reaching all points on Earth, protection system capable of protecting from all threats, and the presence of blue berkelir aircraft is able to deter anyone who sees the heart. All the crew selection of the best, dedicated in serving the president and not infrequently also created a close relationship between the president and the crews of Air Force One, as well as people who had flown with him.
Not just a show of strength, in the end events that occurred on September 11, 2001 to justify the presence of Air Force One. At that time, “Taj Mahal Fly” is a command center for U.S. President, to secure the security chaos and communications that occur under. Air Force One to protect the president in his stomach, giving him a chance to take the best decisions, and strengthen a country that is in confusion and chaos.
These moments are the hardest to prove that the election of the VC-25 aircraft with Boeing 747-200 base is not excessive. With one-third the distance around the Earth and fly a long duration, VC-25 into an ideal platform as Air Force One, as well as providing a challenge, is there any other aircraft that can replace its function later?
