Name of president's Jet?

The plane used to transport the President is always called Air Force One, irrespective of which particular plane he's in. It is generally a Boeing 747-200 modified with special equipment such in-flight refueling. To be more technical, it is Air Force One if he is on an Air Force Plane, Marine One when he is on the helicopter, or Navy One if he is on a Navy plane. The "one" gives the aircraft priority in aviation hierarchy (the smaller the number, the higher the priority).


What is the president's airplane called?

The Air Force is Responsible for Air, Space, and Cyberspace. They do everything from Air Lifts to Stopping cyber attacks. From Launching Satellites to Spraying the rivers and valleys for Mosquitoes. As you can see the Responsibilities of the Air Force are far reaching. If you really want to know what the Air Force does, I recommend visiting the Air Force Web Site at airforce.com


Does pres. bush get to keep air force one?

No. Air force one is only for the current US President. However, after the inauguration of Obama, the air plane that usually acts as air force one does offer to transport Bush to whatever he's home destination is one last time.


What is the name of the plane the president of US uses officially?

Air Force One is the code name given to the plane the President uses for official business. It is actually more than one plane.- - - - -The plane the president usually uses is called a VC-25. It is a customized Boeing 747 that has everything from a desk to an emergency room in it. There are two of them.The name "Air Force One" means the plane the president is actually using at the time. He usually uses the VC-25, but if the president is going somewhere a 747 won't go, he will get a plane that can land where he's going, and THAT plane is Air Force One as long as the president is using it...so, if the president is going out into the Alaskan bush and the only plane that can possibly land there is a Cessna Caravan, for that trip Air Force One is a Cessna Caravan.The president also has a helicopter. It is operated by the US Marine Corps, so if he's on his heli he is on Marine One. The current helicopters are the only H-60 Blackhawks the Marine Corps owns.
