Let's talk about one of the most secretive, yet public, planes in the sky: Air Force One. These Boeing 747-200B's carrying the President of the United States are essentially flying bunkers. Some of its special capabilities include aerial refuelling, nuclear blast protection, and even has its own medical suite/operation room. But, Air Force One wasn't always this glamorous - in this video I'll walk you through the tumultuous history of how Air Force One became Air Force One.

From Franklin D. Roosevelt's Douglas Dolphin to Lyndon B. Johnson's inauguration aboard Boeing 707, there's a lot to uncover from the history of Air Force One. There's even been some controversies it's found itself in! Its family tree also includes Air Force Two, Marine One, and more! In this video we'll also discuss Biden's 5.3 billion dollar new Air Force One upgrade: two Boeing 747-8i's with upgraded General Electric engines. Stay tuned.
