A VC-25A — a flying command post with secure comms, a medical suite, and aerial refueling that answers to “Air Force One” only while the President is aboard. This is the jet that flew President George W. Bush on September 11, 2001, hopping to Barksdale and Offutt as the attacks unfolded; otherwise it flies under its “SAM 29000” Special Air Mission callsign, with both VC-25As due to be replaced by new 747-8 VC-25Bs.
