YW fren...

Of course.. you, too fren! I just took a photo off of my TV...😸

That stuck me as curious immediately! Maybe because it's a short trip or maybe due to the runway at the Airport in Queens, NY. Perhaps they are working on the largest plane. But I always thought 2 were always flying; necessary as a decoy.

Here's some info:

Air Force One delays continue as Boeing struggles with new planes | Fox News https://share.google/p0EXKA6UXSrc93qTs

The term "Air Force One" refers to the radio call sign of any U.S. Air Force aircraft carrying the President of the United States, but it is also used to identify the two current presidential planes: identical Boeing 747-200B jets (designated VC-25A) with tail numbers 28000 and 29000. These customized aircraft serve as a flying White House, equipped with advanced communications, security features, and medical facilities, allowing the president to travel and work securely from anywhere in the world.
The Two Planes Boeing 747-200B (VC-25A): The current presidential fleet consists of two Boeing 747-200B jumbo jets, assigned the Air Force designation VC-25A. Tail Numbers: The specific planes are known by their tail numbers: 28000 and 29000. Base: They are based at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, ready to be deployed when needed. Role: They can be used by the President, Vice President (as Air Force Two), and other dignitaries, though the President's plane is the one known as Air Force One. Key Features Communications and Security: The aircraft are equipped with state-of-the-art electronic and communications equipment, including self-defense systems, and can operate as a flying White House. Air-to-Air Refueling: They have the capability for in-flight refueling, allowing them to circle the globe without landing. Interior: Inside, they feature a conference room, a dining area, offices for the president and staff, and quarters for the crew, including a medical suite. Passenger Capacity: The planes can accommodate up to 76 passengers, including staff, security, and guests. The Call Sign A "Flying" Title: "Air Force One" is a radio call sign that is given to any Air Force plane when the President is on board, to prevent confusion in the air traffic system. History of the Call Sign: The use of the distinct call sign was established after a near-collision in 1953 between a presidential aircraft and a commercial flight that shared the same flight number.

Air Force One does not have an escape pod; this is a fictional device popularized by the 1997 movie Air Force One. The real presidential aircraft is a highly secure Boeing 747 equipped with defensive measures against attacks, but it lacks a pod for the President to exit in an emergency. Why the Escape Pod is Fictional Plot Device: The escape pod was created as a narrative element for the film to allow the President to evade hijackers and still remain on board while the terrorists believed he had escaped. Impracticality: A component designed to detach in flight would be inherently dangerous and could fail, creating a bigger problem. Lack of Evidence: There is no evidence or documentation suggesting such a feature exists, and no photos or tests of such a device have ever been released. Real Air Force One Features The actual aircraft has robust security features, including countermeasures for missiles and highly trained personnel to protect the President. However, it does not have a parachute deck, parachutes for passengers, or any other form of escape pod or system for the President to exit during an emergency.

Of course! POTUS is an excellent natural athlete! 😺
