Air Force One is one of the most beautiful, recognizable and respected aircraft in the world. Unfortunately the new ones coming next year won't honor the over 60-year-old paint scheme, because Trump has had them repainted in the scheme similar to his bankrupt airline instead. I hope Biden reverses it before our country is embarrassed by them.
@@rouser301 why not show ALL the colors of our flag on Air Force One? It doesn’t make sense just doing white and blue when our countries colors are RED, WHITE & BLUE! If it’s carrying the President of the United States, it really should show off all of the country colors not just 2.
@@justinokland9636 For the same reason the White House isn't decked out in red white and blue; because it's been an AMERICAN tradition for over 60 years, and the only reason trump wanted to change it is because he childishly could - and you know it. If Obama had tried to do exactly the same thing you'd be stomping your feet and screaming hysterically about how treasonous the whole idea was... and you KNOW it.
I've seen AF1 from a distance several times, you can't get close to it. A team of U.S. Airforce airmen known as Air Force One detailers polish it by hand from top to bottom. It's so shiny it sparkles. A beautiful airplane and very impressive to see in person.
I was at Myrtle Avenue this morning to watch the early morning arrivals, hadn’t been there in about a year. I left about 11am, had no idea Air Force One was coming later in the afternoon. I wondered why there were so many people there earlier, that was probably why
And with so many people at Myrtle Avenue I'm utterly surprised that you hadn't heard anyone mention that Air Force One was arriving later in the day. After all it's been common knowledge for a while now that the POTUS was visiting HM Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle on Sunday 13 June 2021.
I've never seen Air force 1. But I've seen president Clinton, Obama, and Bush2 motorcade and that was pretty awesome. But this has to top that. Great vid, thanks for sharing ☮️
I got to see AF1 and the whole fleet of Marine 1 choppers twice last year at Nashville International. (KBNA). One of them we literally stood out by the taxi way and it taxied past us less than 200 feet away. Now THAT was a fun day. Although we did get an earful from airport police the next day 😂
Finally, AF1 is carrying someone worthy to be in her protection and safety. I hope they thoroughly cleaned and deloused her after the orangefart used it.
Word is, that whenever Donald Drumpf used his AF1 toilet, in flight, the smell was so awful that they had to fly with the windows and doors open. Ugh!!
I was on my gf's deck 30 years ago... observing the birds & such whilst eyeing marine 1 flying about 100 yards from me.. So I went indoors told my gf you gotta see this ,,.I had just received a little gift from marlboro a pocket telescope.. geezes xmas I looked right in the cockpit & Them secret service agents don't mess around & hovered 3 ft from our deck for about 20 seconds.. Thanks marlboro for scaring me to death w/o smoking a marlboro..
Where I live back in America AF1 every few months uses our airport for takeoff & landing practice days b/c of our closeness to DC & our airport is the least busy that can take a 747. I tell you every time it is here for the day it is like it's the 1st time. I am glad you all had the chance to see it in person as well.
they will be 50 to 100 people on the plane with him mostl secret service and some top officials and white house staff, medics, chef and crew maybe a few very select media
They're retrofitting two used 747-8's at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, TX. And yes, very expensive. But hey...costs a lot to be the best and look the best and protect the best. 🥳😎
@@markrivas8258 Read the whole story on the retrofits. The cost is up to 6.9 Billion dollars and here's the real fun fact..... it will cost 84 Million dollars just to create the 100,000 page Owner's Manuel for the planes. Aren't you just thrilled to see your Tax Dollars at work?
I’m pretty certain the 757 (?) the US jet immediately after Air Force One, was returning to Washington DC not Brussels. Dr Biden, the pres wife had transferred to that flight as she did not go on to Brussels with the presicent.
