Old but Fierce

Insider

If there is a terrorist event, Air Force One will provide the necessary protection for the president and his team. However, the fleet is fairly old. The two current Presidential planes are almost 30 years old. They started flying under George HW Bush in 1990. Eventually, former President Barack Obama ordered two replacement Boeing 747-8 aircrafts that are modern variants of the 747-200B that the current planes are based on. Likewise, the aircrafts are highly customized. They are practically a flying Oval Office with state-of-the-art technology that enable the POTUS to conduct and run the government during a flight.
