Hi Paul. Great video. I see to recall you looking through this plane last I , as part of a bigger museum tour,...but I maybe bonkers, too !😂 It was something about the lift for the president to use that reminded me, or was there another plane also that had a lift for a president ?

I learn something and have an entertaining time always watching them. I am always wowed by aircraft museums and the history. I'm a student pilot that ran outta money but sure loved the little flying I did. ha ha. Thanks for all the hard work. I am a retired professional video editor and i realize the effort involved. Best to you Paul and keep up the great work! Tod in Las Vegas. :)

It has taken time to polish all this fuselage... 😱 What I know is only when the American President is inside the plane is called 'Air Force One'. Other than that, the plane has a regular registration, like any other plane. Today there is more than one plane available for him.

C-54s did have a flight engineer. In fact, actor Montgomery Clift played one aboard a USAF C-54 in a movie about the Berlin Airlift titled, "The Big Lift." You should be able to find the movie on KZfaq.
