National Geographic: Air Force One

The plane whose name is synonymous with the power of the nation is Air Force One. The famous jet has been flying American presidents and their entourages for the past five decades. This documentary takes a close look at Air Force One, inside and out. Although it is elegantly appointed with many features, the plane's mission is the safety of the President of the United States. A survey of the safety features of Air Force One leaves no doubt that the Chief Executive is flying in good hands. Archival film clips, and interviews with presidents from Carter to Bush give the viewer an inside view of the plane of the president.
