Air Force One: The US President's Hyper-Customized Airplane 

That’s a long upload time

Please make a video about Bar Lev Line, costing around $300 million in 1973.

I apparently don’t have the right password

the flying boat was made by TWA not Pan Am

Neat! Thank you!

Can't wait for the first Space Force One flight.

@@doug6885 Sheesh! I didn't even consider that one! It will be something for sure!!

G'day, Lock Trumpy under a Minuteman's Nosecone, and Launch him at Russia as a Warning not to intefere..., under the Callsign, "SpaceFarce-One..." (!). That would work, y'know...; as it happens. As pennance for launching his Cuckoo Coup...; kinda thing. Take it easy, such be his Karma, apparently ; allegedly... Have a good one, Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

@@WarblesOnALot 🙏💜Nice singing Warbles🖖

**zips up jacket** "Hold my beer!"

😂

No way that figure includes the cost of its fighter escort!

Me too, thanks.

"Oh" indead, RIP taxpayers' money...

@@okstate42 Air Force 1 usually doesn't have a fighter escort. Why would it? They would be pretty useless unless you're expecting someone to intercept it with other fighters. And that's not gonna happen unless you enter hostile air space. Wich Air Force 1 would never do.

been there before it’s pretty damn awesome

As someone who lives in Dayton I absolutely agree!

My uncle was the phone tech who worked on the phones in Air Force One at Wright Patterson.

The aviation industry there really started it all

You had me at Ohio. How can I go there if it doesn't exist?

🙏💜🙏 For the second time today... JFK & LBJ🤔👍🖖

How sad for you. A unique sight but one that brought you so much sadness.the entire world ached at that moment. I was in my high school, Spanish class in the audio room wearing headsets. SUddenly they were shut off and replaced with news coverage of announcing the President had ben shot and confirmed dead in Dallas. At that point, all classes were cancelled and I returned home. My mom was in front of the TV watching the news of what happened. She was crying as if anyone in our family had just died. We watched the sad news as we saw the funeral and John Boy salute his father's coffin and Caroline kiss her dad's coffin. Such memories were engraven in my heart. Such a terrible loss. Grommy, you brought me back to a sad day in my life. Now a grandma of 75.

@@passion777able i was 16 months old and i still tear up at the sight of the Dallas footage! It truly effected us All. Love, Light and JOY be yours today and forever🙏

@@barrydysert2974 Thank you Barry. I wish you too a blessed Thanksgiving Day to you and those dear to you ..... including furry ones. We must not forget them. I have a 21 year old Magic Merlin feline and his rescued brother, OSCAR. We all had our special feast today.

You recount the day with great clarity. A moment it your life never to be forgotten, certainly.

That's interesting, I never knew that.

Turret go brrrrrrrrrrrrrt

And participated in the best slap fight in history

@@danielrobinson2861 Yep, and on the Confederate side they raised the USS Merrimack and converted it to the ironclad CSS Virginia.

USS Monitor had less impact on naval warfare than you would think. Firstly, the British, through Captain Coles, patented a rotating turret before the Monitor as used with the raft 'Lady Nancy' this turret was improved and put on the floating battery HMS Trusty (The first ship with a turret.). This turret was far superior to the one used on USS Monitor as the turret on USS Monitor had huge shortcomings with the accuracy of the shot and its following correction shots. Cole's turret was vastly more reliable and durable. HMS Monarch holds the distinction of being the first ocean going ship with gun turrets. But yeah, HMS Trusty holds the distinction of being the first turreted ship, French Ironclad Gloire the first ocean capable armoured ship and HMS Devastation being the true ancestor to modern warships. Monitor only holds the distinction of being the first ship to engage another ironclad. HMS Devastation was the first ocean going capable steamship. If USS Monitor had been capable of ocean sailing then it would have had a more significant impact on naval warfare and is not even close to worthy of being a megaproject in the least. They had such an impact on naval warfare that when the civil war ended the US navy practically put them all into the naval reserve.

Oh boy...

There was also a Columbine II and Columbine III

I didn't realize he was the supreme commander

@@spritemon98 Yup, Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe and one of the last 5-star Generals. The last man promoted to 5-star Admiral was William "Bull" Halsey.

@@pauld6967 5-star admiral is also called "fleet admiral".

True

Immediately started looking for this comment. Awesome movie.

Did it in purpose. Wants to see who is paying attention.

Allegedly

English is hard language

The problem is that Simon throws these videos together, cranking out more than six a day. He doesn't care about accuracy, this is all an exercise to milk money out of RU-vid.

@@nicolek4076 ~ Put some channels together and show him how it's done, we'll wait... Or just stop being a prissy jealous brat.

I laughed way too hard at this 😅

I see what you did there…..

It's already been established that Simon doesn't watch many movies.

@@ryandowney8743 He should, become a man of culture.

Get off my plane!

And it's Air Force Two, Marine Two, Executive Two, etc, for the Vice President....

How would air traffic control know that the aircraft identifing as Air Force One is not some wag trying it on?

@@martinhiggins9814 The transponder I would imagine? I am a layman here too! But that is my best guess.

Please, tell us something that we don't already know

@Martin Higgins non commercial or military flights use tail numbers even the final flight of leaving presidents last flight for now uses sam 28 or 29 thousand depending if it's plane a or b and the new 2 twin planes will be sam 30 and 31 thousand to be used and secret service is the only known group to use the name of angel for the plane

It was a different time...

@@andrewholden1501 That would be a Super Timely Mega Project

I don't recall him stating that this technology was to be implemented into the upcoming generation of AF1s. (those used planes from Russia...) Maybe the pause between the sentences was a little too short to avoid confusion of some watchers...

If the current version already was considered too expensive I doubt that a specially designed aircraft will meet the budget.

Yea, the mega project videos are littered with mistakes. Another one would be the confusion of the Air Force 1 with the Airborne Laser (ABL), wich is also based on the 747, but a completely different aircraft. Seems like the editor read something about the defense systems of the Air Force 1, saw something about a laser defense system, wich the AF1 probably has, and concluded, after a quick search on google, that this system would be the ABL. When in reality the systems on board of the AF1 probably are IR lasers to blind incoming IR missiles. Not the ABL that can shoot down ballistic missiles. Why would you want the AF1 to be able to shoot down ICBMs??

President (calling his buddies on that phone): "Hey, turds! Check this out!" **let's out the biggest burp in recorded history - right into the mouthpiece**

I believe she chose to be there and if I am not mistaken it was her who insisted that LBJ be sworn in ASAP.

I agree with you, the pain must have been heart wrenching.

@@bearing_aficionado that's interesting. I didn't know that. She had great courage to be present at LBJs swearing in even after her husband died.

@@redmondpeters7162 yeah I believed she felt that continuity of government was important and that John would have wanted that to happen. Either way if I am wrong or right the whole thing would have been hard as hell to deal with. From her standpoint, LBJ, and the government.

Oh man. Now we know that.... how can they top that?? 🧐🙄. Shh... no speak out loud the stuff one should know “just nod”

Good example: Ship speeds

G'day Snoop, Take a look at my comment, up top, in a minute or two... more about the E-4B Cheers, BH

The new AFO will be getting a new paint scheme. Not sure I like it though.

@@TheJer1963 How do you know this? I haven’t seen that finalized in any print

That's what I said

It is being torn down.

Fitting comment, it just collapsed today.

Actually a bigger one in China

@@DrewHaughton but it can't transmit so no radar

I'm pretty sure his research assistant just got confused with the canceled ABL program, which used a whole DEDICATED 747 to carry a monstrous Chemical-Oxygen-Iodine (COIL) laser system for antiballisitic missile purposes. (He specifically mentioned it as being capable of shooting down ballistic missiles - there has only been one aircraft-mount program with that capability.)

@@christopherdurham1999 Yes, that's what I was thinking off.

@@christopherdurham1999 Yes. That thing was never going to be useful since it relied on chemical energy not electricity.

The shiek of the middle east has a huge jet with a golden throne that always faces Mecca, im pretty sure Simon did it but its all running together, just look up most expensive planes

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II had the Royal Yacht Britannia, also known as Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia. An aircraft for the nation that 'ruled the waves' seemed inappropriate, even in 1954 when she was commissioned. Britannia was the 83rd Royal yacht since 1660. Then after election in May 1997, and following the death of Diana, the former Princess of Wales, the savage Tony Blair, Globalist pretending to be Socialist and Republic seeker, whipped up a storm against Monarchy, and Her Majesty had her vessel taken away from her like a naughty schoolchild. Brittania was decommissioned in December 1997, and now she is permanently berthed in Leith (Edinburgh) Scotland, and is Scotland's most visited tourist attraction. Interesting addendum, The Prince of Wales' 2nd wife Camilla, by order of the Crown, should be titled Princess of Wales. However fearing a backlash, again from Socialist scum, she was titled incorrectly, Duchess of Cornwall, which is still imbecillic to this day. The first heir to the throne marries a Princess, end of. America and the UK share this issue. If people want Socialist Communism, there's plenty of nations waiting for them. It was once enough for the U.S to be a Republic, now nothing but Marxism is enough to them. Karl Marx, was a failure at almost everything in life. How pertinent then, for a failure of an ideology. Educated and well versed rant over. Oh shit, Spoilers.... The Crown hasn't gotten this far yet 😮

@@narmale Please expand, how can the throne always point to Mecca? Does it rotate if the aircraft turns 180 degrees?

Jet Fuel Don’t Melt Steel Beams

Ryan Workman I believe that but am trying to to think when a sitting President would be on anything beside a service aircraft.

TRUMP flew in URANIUM ONE .

@@ronunderwood5771 nixon did

Yeah ! how the fuck did they build that !...good one ...cheers.

@@andymouse if I'm not mistaken it was damaged recently beyond repair and they're going to decommission it. I saw something about it pop up in one of my news feeds that I follow. Thought it might be a good one to do given the circumstances!

Only if hose helicopters are USMC craft. An Air Force helicopter would still be “Air Force One” and a Navy chopper would be “Navy One.”

@@toddmcquiston5997 That's really inherent. I didn't feel the need to be a dick and go into the USMC Marine Helicopter Squadron One as I wrote "Marine". But I'm sure you're approach at assuming illiterates can read a post then you're on to a winner, Mr. Nobel Laureate in Literature.

@@vebesese5632 No need to be a dick.

Starforce One

Space Force One, in all actuality. Though any rocket powered craft carrying the President would need to have one heck of a reliability/safety record... Or it's a doomsday scenario, like a meteor impact or supervolcano eruption, that makes getting off of Earth a more viable chance of survival...

@@GeshronTyler1 Since a Mars colony robust enough to warrant a visit by a sitting world leader, who would be absent for more than a year, is still a very long way off, I choose to deny reality any purchase on flights of fancy.

also its Col-um-bine not Colum-bine. I cringed at that a bit being a Colorado native

I had to laugh out loud at "Mammy" Eisenhower

Makes me wonder how many words you guys do butcher inadvertently, just because of your accent... ;)

"Mammy, mammy! How I love yah, how I love yah. My dear old mammy!" 😭

@@winnifredforbes8712 You got it! That was my immediate thought when I heard it, after cringing at the repeated "col-UM-bine." Yikes!

Well, yeah. 70 people x 3 meals/ day = 210 meals per day. Approximately 9-10 days of meals.

fake news.

@@markplott4820 Harrison does have a history of crashing planes though.

Also Golden Gate, can't remember if Simon's done a video on that yet though.

You mean like the China south north water transfer video?

I highly doubt it, the airframe isn't designed for supersonic flight. Too much drag, airframe stress and power required. Look at the Concord design vs. a 747.

@@BStrambo I know, I was just checking. M.

@@rovercoupe7104 Why do you keep ending comments with "M"?

@@BStrambo although given the propensity for massive spending by the US military, they probably will spend quite a lot of billions of dollars trying to make it happen!

He doesn't like the Southern Hemisphere very much, I have mentioned several times for a video on the Snowy Mountains Scheme in Australia. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowy_Mountains_Scheme

Well I do have news for you then....

747-8 has been Cancelled, 747 is no longer Produced.

Just because they aren’t being built doesn’t mean the existing planes just drop out of the sky

More an OOPS than a WTF to me.
