Boeing 747-200 (82-8000)

N/A
According to the Air Force, it's a VC-25A
Yes, the official USAF and Boeing model number is VC-25A. It was built on the 747-200 frame. It is then flown to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland for installation of the parts necessary to make it Air Force 1 including all of the classified parts, protective and communications gear.
This Air Force One has been replaced by a new 747-200. Different colors, blue and red. VC-25B. Reg. # 30000. Trump is responsible for this. Biden is reaping the awards
Um, George Hall, VC-25B will be 747-8s and the recent estimate for them entering service is in 2025.
@George Hall......agreed about reaping rewards!
The tradition has been that new Air Force 1's are authorized by one President for delivery to his successor. The original upgrade order was initiated under Obama, temporarily delayed by price negotiations, then finally implemented.
Awesome Photo Rice............
The Queen looking great!
