ABC News gets an incredible look inside Air Force One
Air Force One is probably the single most famous airplane in the world.
And that is because it is the personal plane of the POTUS, AKA the US President.
Of course, such a plane is extremely unique and distinctive because of the purpose it serves.
The Boeing VC-25A has an extremely distinctive blue and white livery.
It’s also a military-modified version of the Boeing 747-200, making it stand out even more so.
But what about the things on the inside – what is life actually like inside Air Force One itself?
Well, ABC News had the same thought a few years ago – and they decided to check it out.
One major Hollywood myth was dispelled about POTUS’ plane
Ten years ago, the channel got an exclusive look inside Air Force One during the Obama presidency.
A lot of the amenities onboard won’t exactly come as a shock.
Of course, there’s some of the finest cuisine you can think of, as well as the most luxurious meeting spaces.
There’s also the flying Oval Office – an almost exact replica of the original version in the White House.
Every inch of the plane itself is polished by hand before every single flight.
So what about the protective measures onboard to protect POTUS?
One such measure that has been speculated for years is the use of escape pods.
Those do not actually exist on board Air Force One, as the presenter found out.
The video ended with the iconic aircraft landing at JFK International in New York.
And it’s right on time – because of course it is.
