Secrets of US President’s $3.2 Billion Air Force One
Being the President of the United States has some perks worthy of the title of the job. Dubbed the leader of the free world and potentially the most protected person in the world, the president not on travels with one of the most secure motorcades in existence but also has one of the most technologically advanced aircrafts ever built. Air Force One as it’s referred to is no stranger to military tech and much other incredible facilities. In this episode of Xplained we take a closer look into how the President travels and the secrets of Air Force 1.

Informative with the wrong information. For example, Airforce one is not faster than an F-16. Yes, F-16s cruise between 550-600 miles an hour but an F-16s max speed is 1,345 mph. Airfoce can't even reach the sound barrier. Or "airforce one flies higher than any other plane". Except, the service ceiling of the SR-71 Blackbird is 85,000 feet, more than double Airforce one. Heck, even the F-16 has a higher service ceiling at 55,000 feet.
🤣🤣🤣
The -200B is also not 250 feet long. Even a Gulfstream G650ER can fly faster and at a higher service ceiling. This is a perfect t example of why the internet is making people stupid. No one cross references anything anymore. Anyone can put anything on the internet and pretend it’s true.
@@kaidendeck5022 and he’s wrong about it being longer than any other commercial plane. The -200B is not 250 feet long. The 747-8i is. What else do you think he got wrong in his video?
@@kaidendeck5022 No. In the first 16 seconds off the video these claims are made WITHOUT stating commercial plane and WITH comparing it directly to the F16. It's clear cut false information.
😂😂😂😂💀
AF1 lands at LAX all the time. As with other civilian airports. Usually it then leaves to spend the night at a more secure location, but not always.
Doesn't this bother you? God have mercy on your soul?
The mention of the F-16 pilot marveling at how fast it is because he "actually had to speed up to catch up with it"... AF1's top speed is 600 mph, an F-16 is 1,345mph... He was probably just noting the speed it was traveling at quicker than he expected, not like he couldn't catch up. The way this was presented was pretty misleading lol.
Correct. Also " flies higher than any other jet" is patently false.
Nah, there’s testimony from one of the F-16 pilots that he actually had to ask Air Force One to slow down so he could hang. I saw that on the 9-11 documentary a few months back.
@@SirJacob220 I wonder if the F16's fuel had something to do with it then. It's known fact that an F16 is twice as fast as they say AF1 is.
747s are very fast planes (M.86), not only these versions.
@@gerardosalazar161 Yes, do you know how fast an F16 is?
Air Force One lands at commercial airports on the regular. It was just in Boston and landed at Logan Intl
i saw it a SFO like a decade ago too.
It's been to STN a number of times.
that is correct, i've seen it land and take off at DTW
seen it in palm springs
Also CLE--they just park it over on the far side of the field..
It landed at my local airport in the UK. And although there's some military activity there, it's basically a small commercial airport.
Came here to add I literally saw AF1 at the atlanta airport while taking off in 2021
On a trip to the UK my friend's father claimed that he spat on Air Force One and covered it with gunk when his cleaning crew was instructed by joint security to clean the plane.
C’était l’occasion de jeter un seau plein de merde sur Air Force One. Pourquoi ne l’avez-vous pas fait? Peut-être la prochaine fois
@@serronserron1320 dudes a liar haha
It even landed in Nairobi Kenya, just a regular international airport (usually no military activities), under president Barack Obama
AF1 lands at many civilian airports all over the world. It usually lands at the international airport here in my local town and never lands at the Air Force base here and I have seen it many times land at LAX many times. They always halt all airport activities for as long as up to an hour while it is coming in for landing and getting secured and then normal airport activities will then be allowed to resume.
Props to you sir for not asking for a Super Chat. Keep up the great content.
I love how plain its always looked. 3 billion dollar plane but looks more regular than a 747 with nice paint.
Its yeah just literally modelled externally like a 747 but is nothing like it in reality (longer even than one), to the point the last to be rolled out of Boeing 747's have been stopped either in 2022 or 23 I forget which.
I saw AF1 flying low over my home town here in England. It was a real thrill too! 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
HIA, (Harrisburg International Airport), outside Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, regularly hosts the unoccupied Air Force One aircraft. It has an exceptionally long runway, making it perfect for practicing touch and go landings and takeoffs. It's motors are something very special and sound like no other aircraft you'll hear.
It’s for sure MDT not HIA, but good info!
Funny that you should mention the sound of the motors. About 20 years ago I saw and heard a very large solid black jet associated with the president's visit fly directly above me (just a few hundred feet above me as it was taking off) and I was astounded that its engines sounded exactly like a quiet lawn mower. My exact words when hearing that sound were, "What is that, a flying lawn mower?" But it wasn't Air Force One. Is this the sound you are alluding to?
LEER LO MÍO. NEXT PRESIDENT OF U.S.A. .

Trump flew over my house when he was in office. I’m in reno Nevada and my house is directly under the flyway. They came over waaay Lower than all other aircraft I’d imagine for a smooth landing. The thing is huge and hella loud
I watched Air Force One land at a little municipal airport in Greenville, NC in 2019 it was amazing
I work in Philadelphia Airport. I’ve seen Air Force One on numerous occasions.
“6 stories high and 76 meters in length which is longer than any commercial jet.” A380: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?
The A380 is 73m in length.
no, your just a joke......and a bad one at that
A380 is 73 meters in length though
" You'll never spot Air Force one at an ordinary airport anywhere in the world" Except i saw it at San Antonio International Airport (SAT) so there's that
I am super curious what the press/staff section at the back of the airplane looks like. Is it like a 1st class type of section, or more like an economy one from RyanAir? :D
It also lands on public airports since I saw it land at LAX like a month ago
I was thinking that it always lands at public airports as every city doesn't have a military airport or base.
It’s landed at London Stansted before too multiple times
Man, I’ve landed at Palm Springs with it parked in a corner. Cool plane, a lot of delayed passengers in the terminal lol
I've seen it here in Vegas many times leaving/landing McCarren(Reid) airport. when it is still low, about 3 to 10 minutes after takeoff/b4 landing I swear the damn thing looks like it is frozen, suspended in air. and yes, it has escort. Which is a spectacle to watch in of itself.
This is not supposed to be made public. This is supposed to be classified, protected information.
It landed in Canada today at a regular airport but I’ll assume everything had to be clear along with other airlines getting tf out of the way haha.
Flight performance wise is just slightly faster (+30 km/h) and has a slightly higher ceiling (+1800m) than the standard commercial version of the 747-400. The fuselage is not "armored" as it would weigh too much and probably not even be able to take off, let's say that instead of the standard insulation materials of the commercial version a special mix of carbon fibers with ballistic properties are used. The real secret stuff are the special ECM suites and especially the communication and datalinks that work through military satellites in space.
The irony, the person most likely to start a nuclear war is the one most likely to survive it.
That would not be an irony. It would be a coincidence. It would be ironic if the exact opposite were true. 😂
The person most likely to start a nuclear war is in office right now!
@@brianbarclay4316 Biden does not make any decisions, he is barely capable of knowing when to use the bathroom. The POTUS has no say in military affairs despite what the Constitution says, that was made very clear when Trump ordered the troops home from the Middle East and military responded by sending another 100,000 over there.

PERIOD

You can pretty much get anything fron the kitchen--think flying cruise ship...😋🍨🍰🎂
One thing to keep in the new Air force One is the Old school Livery....
they are. President Biden changed the order to keep the same livery as the current plane
Thank you for this video! Very interesting!
Thanks a lot dude i was looking for this incredible content bout Secrets of US President’s $3.2 Billion Air Force One so i am going to share it with everybody good job dude
The 76 meters length you mentioned is of the incoming 747-8 VC-25B. Current AF1 is 70 meters long.
the pricetag they mention is also for the new one, but these people are idiots
Cool that was interesting to see 👍
The most recent additions are really the strangest so far. The built in automatic drool cup and automatic chin wipe system. The foam floors, the rubber room and the new ice cream parlor with kiddie hair head rests.
New subscriber here! Very interesting channel. Thank you!👍
We have seen Airforce One a number of years back at an airport in Scotland close by to us, which isn’t a military airport.
If the founders could see the Republic now, The Exutive office is replaced with King, This nation is out of money. Trillions in debt with no end in site, this is unstable.
im watching Harrison ford's air force one right now and they got the interior pritty bang on wow i knew there was a reason ive love this movie since i was a kid
Watching this while starring at air force one on the runway at St. Croix, VI “You’ll never see this plane at a regular airport” 😂💀😊
I had a flight delay it's landing because Air Force One was landing at the same airport (Newark Airport). Our plane landed and taxied past Air Force One.
I would have pressed my nut sack up against my window
Doesn't this video bother you, revealing inside details and design details of Air Force One? Bloody Hell.
Investing is considered a bedrock in making generational wealth. Most people don't know when, where or what to invest in. Fortunately, great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance and ideas. Meaningful contributions are always welcomed.
@John Lukas Yes, you're right, it's not watching all videos wasting time on strategies, I was ignorant doing so till I met Sir Lucas S.Chamberlain last year at a startup funding event in Washington DC.
He had some interesting things to say about the state of algorithmic trading today, obviously I'm seeing results, and my trading is going smoothly.
Nice content. To me trading the forex and crypto market is way better than any online investment
An expert who can provide thought of investing in bitcoin around 2019 but i was discouraged by the rise and fall, don't know but feel like giving it a try proper guidance, and trades with the right strategies.
would advise you try EOS price prediction because it will rise again.
It'd be nice to have a breakdown of that hourly cost. I assume that's pay for the crewmembers and ground personnel too.
Yes it includes the crew and the ground crew as well as the secret service detail that protects it and the maintenance crew and more.
This is confidential, security information, classified. Bloody Hell Man.
The Air Force reported that the operating cost for each VC-25A in 2014 was $210,877 (~$258,020 in 2022) per hour.
@zherin2063 Do you want the launch codes too?
All the plane buffs forgetting that most info about it is highly classified as to not give away all the trade secrets, like the speed being clicked lower and max altitude as lower than it could be in emergency
Never knew Boeing made supersonic 747's 😂😂
After he said I lost interest and I stopped watching 😂
He’s a complete idiot to say that it goes as fast as a F 16.
@@luiislp7 it proves ignorance. But atleast i know now its as fast as an F-16!
@@luiislp7 I also thought same, I kept watching and it explained that an F-16 couldn't keep up and had to speed up. I think it means to say it can cruise at a higher speed and the F16 had to use a bit of afterburner to keep up.
No but we, heard’ it Boom baby’ !!
Imagine what the new Air Force One will be like, once they get around to making it!
The newest version that President 46 flies, cloackes at a certain height. Cool stuff 😎
Simply amazing!
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing the knowledge Sergi. 🙏
He said it flies as fast as an F-16.
Bro please don’t listen to this video he said so much incorrect info it’s not even funny tbh
Do you need Accounts Services , Personal And Business Trabsaction Handle, Payment Handle All Over Worlds ?
I love the clickbait picture of the bedroom, thats from some Private jet like a BBJ the presidential bedroom looks absolutely nothing like this on either VC-25
That's really amazing and I just learned some new things about air force one:)!!!
so did the enemy....which i find kinda funny...in a morbid sorta way...
Living in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We get the honor of the President giving a speech at the United States Air Force Academy once every four years. Our local airport is tied to Peterson Air Force Base. Also, we get the random presidential planes coming in for high altitude training.
My parents and I would love to see Air Force One land at EVV over in Evansville, Indiana when we meet the president of the United States of America.
“It’s so fast the f-16 had to speed up to catch up to it” that’s the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard.
Great video sir!
I saw AF1 at Stansted Airport in the UK a few years ago.
This takes me back to the movie 🎥 Air force One
I really wanted the bad guys to win in that movie
@@Tophatjones358 😂😂😂😂😂
Great video. Thank you for sharing. 💪❤️🤍💙
Hello Sarah how are you doing today?....hope you are enjoying the video?
Hello how are you doing hope you're fine and staying safe???
Very well kept SECRET 👌
just orderd mine, cant wait untill it arrives!
Landed and stayed in Dublin Airport for three nights on president Bidens visit to Ireland. Doesn’t always land in a secure military airfield. Could also get pretty close to it considering what it is.
Not at an ordinary airport I’ve seen it at Heathrow that an ordinary also seen at stansted as well
Also at my airport in the Caribbean
I see the new Air Force One every day at Kelly & Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio Texas. Every one can see from military Dr . Wide open if someone is driving, you can take pictures of it. But don’t get caught.
I remember watching the air force one movie when I was in 9th grade and i told my history teacher the next ill never forget him saying oh that wasn't a plane that was a hotel lol
With all the trouble Boeing has been having with its newer aircraft maybe the delay in the construction of the new Air Force One is not such a bad thing.
Be nice for it to have problems if a Republican president ever gets back in it
@@mg19cal no matter who is president , having a large aircraft fall from the sky is never a "nice" thing.. you are asking for the possible death of many for your political hatred.
Those problems have been with the 787, new 777X and 737-MAX. The B747 production line is what it always was and is separate from the other lines, still in Seattle. The 747, any 747 therefore, is as rock solid as it's always been.
@@Rocket-hb6jh But what is the model they plan to use for the "New Air Force One" do they plan to go with the latest and high tech models Boeing is rolling out at the time just because they can? As we see newest is not always better..
@@amyhartman6786 the latest Air Force One was built nearly a decade ago for a carrier that ordered two 747-8s which were then cancelled because the carrier ceased operating. Those airframes were placed in long term storage and will now be converted into VC-25Bs and fitted out to serve as AF1. Dumbass Trump complained about the cost which was only slightly more than it is now but the penalty is that because the aeroplanes have already been built as opposed to being built as VC-25Bs from scratch, they will lack features of the current AF1s which include aerial refueling. The capability has to be included as the aeroplane is being built so can’t be retrofitted. That’s the only disadvantage I can see thanks to Trump who complained about a couple hundred million dollars but wasted millions on a pointless ‘wall’. So, no concern about the new AF1 as it was built before any of Boeing’s current problems.
It would have been interesting to note the backup Air Force One, which is a modified Boeing 757 used domestically in the event it needs to access smaller airports. I know it has been used to access places like Tuscaloosa, AL under President Obama in 2011 and President Trump in 2019.
The backup aircraft is another 747 just like the other one
@@georgeblank2648 They also have a 757 that is used to reach places that can’t accommodate a 747.
*A FLYING FORTRESS?? MUAHAHAH SAY IT TO MY S-400, RUSSIA NEVER MISS ESPECIALLY FAT YANKEE ASS*
@@scottshinbaum1772 The 757 is for the vice president, first lady and secretary of state. At least that is what it is made and used for, but in a crisis they could probably use it for the president too
Doesn't this bother you? This is not supposed to be made public. What have you done?
It’s 3.30 AM and I am watching this without any reason.
I remember the red phone. No key pad. Just hanging on the wall next to the hot seat LOL 2003
"Flies higher than any other aircraft", even an Airbus A380 can fly higher. "As fast as an F16 fighter jet" even though an F16 can fly at twice the speed. And "You'll never spot Air Force One at an ordinary airport, anywhere in the world" yet when it comes to Scotland it flies into Prestwick Airport, a normal airport where you can get a normal flight to your holidays! C'mon, there's no need to sensationalise what is already a very cool aircraft.
I love this statement ,that's exactly what I wanted to say he is definitely lying 🤥
It can fly as fast as an F16, so long as it's under the speed of sound. Any airport where it lands is no longer ordinary.
Exactly. Plus, I was watching a plane spotting video and it casually landed at LAX 😂
You gave false info that it only lands and secured military bases. I've seen it several times at Hartsfield Jackson in Atlanta and at Detroit metro
Now that’s some kind of plane.
Had a part ordered at my Air Force base, you should see the people who comes and picks up the part
“You’ll never spot Air Force One at an ordinary airport anywhere in the world.”??? When the President has visited the UK, Air Force One has landed at both London Heathrow (LHR / EGLL) and London Stansted (STN / EGSS) as well as Prestwick (PIK / EGPK) mentioned by Scottish Ogre.
I saw it fly into Atlantic City NJ intl Airport an 8000 foot runway......Bullshit--Lies.......
Regularly lands at civilian airports all the time.
@@donzender9008 absolutely
Cool plane, hope to ride it one day
Air Force One isn't the name of "any plane that carries the president" rather it's the name of any Air Force plane that carries the president.
Correct--a radio call sign assigned by ATC...also "Marine One", "Navy One", or even "Executive One" if a civilian craft.🇺🇸🖖

Murica! There are other countries in the world you know?
AF1 as fast as an F16? Fly higher than any other aircraft? I think not.
non afterburner... F16 is faster. AF1 is faster than your ordinary commercial jet. I am also sure top speed is probably classified.
Great video!
It looks really cozy
Here‘s a question to all American viewers: how does it feel to know that 1 hour of operating this machine costs USD200k+ of tax money? Not to mention the USD3.9B for the two new aircraft.
All that money to protect a president that can bring trillions of $$$ and many jobs to the people in his country. Unfortunately, we have not had a president like that for decades.
Your tax dollars hard at work. I came here to find this comment👍
Actually AF1 does go into commercial airports.
actually
Yup! Obama flew it into Portland. I saw it leaving PDX. And trump took it to Florida a zillion times.⛳️🏌♂️

It’s a commercial plane for the president , what’s wrong with you guys 😂😂😂
Just Amazing!
Hi supercarblondie i am one of your biggest fan and can you please tell as more about the president
You trying to assassinate our president?
Now that's a Mile High club luxury style
What about the pod? I think it's fabulous!
It doesn’t matter how advanced the aircraft is when you have a rogue inside during the flight.
Cry more. Ps you lost. Get over it.
Nice but I wish it looked more badass like Vader's Super Star Destroyer.🌌🔫 😈
That's a good video I enjoyed it but I never knew a big plane could carry all of important people O an airplane and do everything in the air. Press the president of the United States. You could use that like an office like a noir house. Everything is handy for.
It does touch and go's at the Greensboro Airport, GSO
I can personally say this plane doesn't always land at a secure military base. I personally saw this plane land mere yards from me while President Trump was campaigning for the second time & still acting President. It landed at an airport in Fayetteville nc.. however ft Bragg is in the middle of this city but still wasn't a secure one or on the base. They had The eye of the tiger song playing really loud when it landed and he came out, was actually a cool experience.
Yeah I’ve seen it at columbus and Toledo airport. Definitely not the most accurate video.
One thing is incorrect. I live near former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago. And every time he was here you could see Air Force one from the highway and the byway, in fact you could actually drive very close to the aircraft and take selfie’s and photos of it. The only security they had for school buses
I have seen it at the West Palm Beach airport many times period but it is my understanding it has extra large engines with very very impressive numbers on the performance and it can break the sound barrier can the 707 can do it as well but the regular 747 cannot break the sound barrier butt Air Force One can and this is exactly why we owe about 50 trillion dollar deficit if they count everything
Interesting info. I never knew this before.
Hello Caroline how are you doing today?.....our president it's really living luxury ....hope this video makes you discover some new things?
Hello how are you doing today hope you're fine and staying safe!!!!!!
I saw this air force one over my house in Phnom penh city Cambodia 🇰🇭
The true Fact is that F-16 top speed is 1,319 mph (2123 km/h), Air force one has a 600 mph (965 km/h) top speed, how on earth is the speed of the AF1 the same as a F16? And the F16 definitly did not have to speed up to catch the AF1! When u state lies like this who knows what else is not true in your video...

Surprised to know Air Force One is not escorted by fighter jets.
I'm satisfied they're not far away
The most secure presidential jet in the world by far
Saying that you will never see af1 take off from a public airport is wrong, I'm working on the railroad literally about 200 yards from the end of the runway and just watched it take off and proceed to loop around and do touch n go's every 10-15 min. for roughly 2 hours before actually heading out
That story about the Syrian migs made me smile. No chances taken.
I've seen it at a non military airport in Lansing Michigan USA 🇺🇸
