IYA NGBALI: The last time I entered this plane from states to Uk,it was a memorable experience,I can't wait to enter it again

Iya Ngbali, come enter my room and i'll take u on a whirlwind ride, trust me.

Reference: But its by far not the grandiest big daddy of them all. Airforce One is built on a 747-200 chasis which is over 35 years old. I learnt one of those Arabian Sheikhs, Emirs or Sultaan (forgotten who precisely) has ordered a customised Airbus A380 complete with gold plated lavs, a swimming pool, limousine garage and a personal elevator. The only problem the folks at Airbus have is the weight of the tiles in the Turkish bath as his Highness insists on the real thing, no make-belief substitutes, making meeting the maximum take-off weight limits a real tall order. The price ??. Perhaps a couple of oil wells pumping for six months.

nifemi01:
broz, andrew airforce base is where airforce one lands whenever he is back in washington and it isn't an airport where commercial flights is seen landing.
Andrew airbase is specifically for the president and his lieutenants

lanreni: it also has voice/cruise control options.it can also fuction like a satellite in space and it is built to keep the president safe at all times,even against satellite tracking. it isn't for sale,custom-made for usa.there's a great danger in using a hi-tech gizmo you can't build,maintain,control or service locally.security can be compromised and assasination bcomes very easy.

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!

CohenJane:

i though it is also always being escorted by four fighter jets where ever it goes. i saw fighter jets escorting it when clinton came visiting to nigeria

Air force One isn't about the what equipment is used, after all it's a 747-200, one of the earlier models of Boeing, so we know it's not a modern plane one. If you wanna compare the A380, you have to look at the 800 variants. That compare in size and weight to the 380. What makes the Air force One capable than all this aircraft is the military capabilities and customization, 80% of which highly classified.

Afam4eva: The first time i entered the Airforce one, i was like WOW!!!

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.

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.

Omo_Tier1: 4.Air Force One has unlimited range and can carry the President wherever he needs to travel. The onboard electronics are hardened to protect against an electromagnetic pulse, and Air Force One is equipped with advanced secure communications equipment, allowing the aircraft to function as a mobile command center in the event of an attack on the United States. The media refer to it as “The flying Oval Office” or the “ The flying White House”. On September 11th, 2001, the president's plane showed that it was much more than an executive jet -- it became a mobile bunker when all ground positions seemed vulnerable to attack


The part in bold is absolute trash! Unlimited range my foot. Even with refueling capability, the typical range of the Aircraft is still limited.

the_ripper: Abeg, d ogas for aeronautics, wetin dem mean by refuelling for Mid-air, d plane go convert Air to jet fuel or wetin?

manny4life:

You were comparing size and technical characteristics and I told you the -800 variant is closer to what you're asking. How's the Intercontinental a doomed aircraft? Is it because it has a higher capability than the 380 family?

It's not for you to see the wow factor, simply take all the capabilities of what the White House can do + Pentagon + Defense, add them altogether and you have a flying equipment. That is why it's dubbed the flying White House. So if you believe that none of these are wow factor, well it will wow the day it's attacked?

Bros chill, I think you're misunderstanding how they mean.
