mu2sa2: ALL THESE ELECTRONIC GADGETS AND SECRECY DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT AIRFORCE ONE CANT CRASH. ANY MAN-MADE OBJECT CAN MALFUNCTION AT ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING.

with this kind of thinking how can we move forward n by d way nobody said it is impossible 4 d plane to crash n if u must knw plane don't js fall of d sky there r series of event dat leads to dat

loswhite: wats up wit u n bragging is dat d only tin u hav on ur head

DailyNews: I am sure The Russian presidential jet maybe stronger than the main US Air Force One, but you know, my dear Americans are good in hyping themselves

The Russian presidential aircraft is the official aircraft of the President of Russia, when he flies aboard. All aircraft in the Russian presidential fleet are operated by GTK Rossiya.

The main presidential aircraft is the four-engined, long-range, widebody Ilyushin Il-96-300PU, a highly-modified Il-96, with the two last letters standing for "Command Point" in Russian. Four modified Il-96s have been used as presidential aircraft, the first one was used by the first President of Russia, Boris Yeltsin. In 2005, the second aircraft was used by President Vladimir Putin. In 2010, the third president, Dmitry Medvedev announced that he wanted to expand the presidential fleet with two more aircraft, manufactured by the Voronezh Aircraft Plant. Previously the president had used Ilyushin Il-62, Tupolev Tu-154, and Yakovlev Yak-40 aircraft.

The aircraft are a highly-customized version of the standard Il-96, with extensive modifications for luxury and safety. Although technical information about the aircraft has been kept secret, it is known that the aircraft's security apparatus includes advanced communications systems and some type of escape capsule. The capsule does not require passengers to use parachutes, although its exact design is a state secret.

Below is a picture of former Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev using a MacBook on his presidential aircraft.

y u no js open anoda thread with title fact abt Russian presidential jet

Omo_Tier1:
Yup The bolded part of your statement is very correct. I am not saying much but Air force One is an aged Aircraft where A380 stands. The italicized part of your post is arrant nonsense! The Airbus A380 being sold to the Royals is a 571t Max Ramp Weight (MRW), 569t MTOW which is well below the upscaled MRW of the A380. What most people may not know is A380 there is an extended variant of the A380 which was ment to be the freighter version with MTOW of 600t but was 'canned'

The Qataris A340 customization is far modern than the Air Force One!

pls did u read d topic? Facts abt Air Force one not Comparison wit A380or A340

Omo_Tier1:
Seriously have you actually being on the A380? Comapring it to that cargo -800 of a boeing 747 is a joke! Boeing 747-8I is a doomed aircraft. As for Airforce One, I see no military capabilities it got that is a WoW factor.

4 u to say u don't see any military capabilities in Air Force one clearly shows hw truthful u r to ur self. Now I believe dat ppl can lie to dem self

Omo_Tier1:
Take it from me, 747-8I is a doomed project, even though it was meant to be decoy to keep Boeing in the picture of the biggies. Seat per mile cost of the 747-8I is lower or equal to that of a B777-3ER, ( not my words but that of Boeing technical director). 747-8I Seat per mile cost is equal to that of B777-3ER when you opt for the option with additional fuel tank at the HTP to give additional range.

Dreamliner is a technology demonstration which has boxed Boeing to a tight corner! B777X EVO announcement is due for FY13 but with dreamliner still draining the banks rather than swelling it, not one is sure if B77XX EVO launch will finally go ahead by FY13 ending.

based on this u have concluded that it is a flop. The fact that they r challenges to be overcome does not make it a flop.

Even the tables and chairs for the pupils were in good condition. I just hope Jonathan builds more of this school because most schools in Nigeria are in bad condition.

pls wuz dog is barkin. Can evry1 pls get his dog 2 shut up? Moderator pls age limit nided :-/

cameronese:

Well, Air Force one is priceless - Its not for sale, it is for build. Build yours if you can, that's the only way you can afford it. So Nigeria or any other country for that matter cant afford Air Force 1

Oh please...... The FG can decide to order one with as much sophistication as that of the US president if they decide to soo a bench for you? \______

manny4life: @topic, the Air force One is simply an amazing aircraft, despite that it takeoff and lands in busy airspace such as Washington DC, you'll never hear that airports were shut down because dignitaries were moving. Although enthusiast such as myself like to capture the those very lovely moment but because the flight itinerary isn't published, makes it hard to video such. Don't forget, the airplane ALWAYS has escorts with the at all times.

No,It doesnt fly with escorts always.Its only in the event of a security threat that F-16s accompany it.for instance,during the 9-11 attacks,the pilot requested for fighter jets.The F-16s can always be scrambled from the nearest airforce base in the event of an attack.Its only the marine one that flies with three helicopters at a time,and that is intended as a decoy.

cheleku: interesting and informative topic. We expect more of these kind of posts. I'm tired of the several gormless post I see on Nairaland. Why would somebody post a topic like 'Emeka Ike and Obasanjo, who wore it better'? Isnt it silly? And how nonsensical topics make it to the front page still remains a mystery to me. Seems some of the Mods here are given to prattles.

Exactly!

I remainber d 1st tym i traveld wit obama on air force one menn it waz cool. Am even plannin 2buy 1 for my self and my pastor.

alaoeri: Reminds me of Air force one by Harrison Ford.

Ochason: I remainber d 1st tym i traveld wit obama on air force one menn it waz cool. Am even plannin 2buy 1 for my self and my pastor.

'Why would somebody post a topic like 'Emeka Ike and Obasanjo, who wore it better'?'
