Multi-level Access

Geek Wire

Everything about Air Force One was well thought out including access. Conversely, while most passenger Boeing 747s have two levels, the Air Force One aircraft has three decks. The President enters on the second level, while members of the press enter on the first floor. Normally, when you see the president in the news getting on and off of the Air Force One with a wave, he is using the door located at the middle deck and a rolling staircase has been pulled up to the plane. Likewise, journalists normally enter through the rear door, where they immediately climb a staircase to the middle deck. They never enter via the main door for security reasons.
