VC-25A Air Force One History:
The VC-25 (also known as 747-200) is most notable for its role as
Air Force One, the callsign of any U.S. Airforce aircraft carrying
the President of the United States.
The VC-25 differs from the standard Boeing 747 relating to
interior dimensions and security features. The VC-25 is capable of
flying 7,800 miles without refueling and can accommodate more than
79 passengers. Each VC-25 cost approximately US$325 million.
The VC-25 replaced the VC-137 as the mainstays of the Airforce
One fleet. On some occasions, the planes are used to transport the
Vice President of the United States, for which service they adopt
the callsign Airforce Two. These aircraft are maintained and
operated as military operations.
The VC-25 can also be operated as a military command center in
the event of an incident such as a nuclear attack. Operational
modifications include aerial refueling capability and anti-aircraft
missile countermeasures.
The VC-25 has also been used to transport deceased former
presidents. The remains of Ronald Reagan and General Ford were
transported by SAM 28000 and 29000 respectively to Wsahington for
their state funerals, and then on to their final resting places.
The VC-25 replaced 707 as presidential aircraft of John F.
Kennedy in 1990
