A VC-25A — one of the two specially-modified 747-200s that become “Air Force One” with the President aboard. SAM 28000 made the type's inaugural presidential flight on September 6, 1990, carrying George H.W. Bush, and in June 2004 it bore Ronald Reagan's casket cross-country for his state funeral, flying his remains home to California.
