interesting

[metal]

Thats not the VC-25 (747-200) that is normally Air Force One; its the C-32 (757-200) that he was on, since he wasn't president yet when that video was shot. Cool vid though.

The B757 does not have a flight engineer's station. If you noticed on the r/h side of the cockpit there is a FE station. Also that flight deck does not look like the B757's flight deck. The B757 has 4 main DU's plus your EICAS DUs (upper and lower).

Also when he boards AF1, and meets the pilot, you can see that the pilot is wearing an AF1 patch on his right breast.

Funny thing is the US is shopping around to replace the aging 747-2 and their looking at the A380.


Edit: It's the 757 because the plane has winglets, the 747 doesn't have winglets. And cool to see an AC A319 or 20 in the background.

Yeah, forgot to mention that too. I guess they just took footage of the 747 cockpit and footage of him on the 757.

didn't notice the winglet in the begining... they defenitly mixed footage around. Shots of the cockpit also showed 4 throttle leavers on the pedestal.

USAF is replacing AF1 either with the B747-800 or A380

OH SHIT:haha:

[viper11885]

Saw it on National Geographic - On Board Air Force One. Pretty neat show.

[hal0g0dv2]

looks pretty cool inside the plane,
what happens if planes shoot at it?

[Gtrr33]

THE PILOT MUST BE GETTING PAID BIG BUCKS

[Hondaracer]

^ werd, pretty nice job to have but he's probably like an ex-air force pilot with thousands of hours under his belt

if u could say one thing about Obama it's that he seems truely genuine

[Vansterdam]

and grape soda..

grape drank ftmw

[Gumby]

Assuming its defensive measures fail and the pilot sucks, it gets hit? :confused:

Wow... that's insane! What a huge plane.

I wanna watch the full clip... looks like a cool documentary.

[murd0c]

The more I see him the more I like him. Just seems like a normal guy you dont see that very often

Agreed. He seems really down to earth. He could've had anything on that menu, but he just got a cheeseburger and fries. Cool dude.

[Harvey Specter]

Yup, very cool and who would have thought we would ever see a President openly telling the media that he listens to Lil Wayne, Jay-Z and other rappers.
