You have to give it to the Americans - they really did their homework, and astonishingly well. What surprised me most is (a) the versatility of their communication platforms, and (b) the extend of old-school analog technology on board these planes. rendering them well protected against digital attacks. All in all a job very well done !

I had the privilege of getting a tour of the E-4B when I was working on Offut AFB's 2gwlan installation back in 2009-10. It's impressive, very utalitarian. No frills, and a lot of old technology. One thing they don't talk about in the video is the huge ULF antenna that gets reeled out the back of the plane. The spool that houses it when it's not deployed is huge, I believe it's over a mile long. Very cool.

I actually worked on this very plane stationed at Offutt AFB, Nebraska in 1987. I worked as a Fuel Systems Mechanic. The fuselage tanks are so big, you can stand fully upright in them.

President who starts the war is safe. Everyone else..... RIP.

Excellent! All presidents need this level of protection regardless of anyone’s particular partisan comments.

150 hours plus before it needs to find a safe land area. Meaning it can do 3 to 4 times longer than that if needed.

Only $250 million? That must be in 1950 dollars.

That big girl could reach over 0.782 mach. 😮

The best passenger plane for the President of the United States, Air Force One 👍

I was a crew chief on the E4-B. It's existence and primary mission purpose has never been denied. It is not a flying bunker it is to provide communication in a disaster just to issue emergency war orders. If it really has anti-missile and rocket systems, we the maintainers were unaware of that. There is only one plane is on alert status at a time unless if there is a request to have the other two on alert status the only time was before and after 9-11. One plane is always in depot level Maintenace. It is used to take the Secertary of Defense on Diplomatic trips. During the Clinton years a certain Secertary of State refused to fly on it and was heard saying "Doomsday plane my ass it is broke!!"

SO thankful for the assets and personnel charged with operating them for our protection! ♥

The E3-A was quite the plane

shout out to the Chief Electronic Communication Engrs of each Aircraft

A flying museum.

the flying basement- circa 2024

Wow, just wow

It's a Boeing... Is it really that safe?

I believe this is the Flying Pentagon. Not Flying White House.

Aka as flying embassy at SAC. Use to always stay two states length from AF1 when AF1 left US.

nice info... have a good day

I always look forward to these Documentaries.. the infrastructure behind the information gathering is amazing and it's good that old aircraft are repurposed and used for decades in this roll..... Roger.... Pembrokeshire UK

If these E4Bs are named after Alice in Wonderland characters, I assume AF1 becomes the “ Mad Hatter” at the outbreak of War?😂

لا اله الا الله الله اكبر والعزة لله تعالى

There’s definitely a submarine we don’t know about

The 2nd most protected aircraft right behind Air Force 1

250mill..so is there A bullet proof box in their incase the plane crashes where he He can sit😭🙌🏼💫

This was at katunayake BIA in colombo few weeks ago

Poderoso! Uau!

The AF should have budgeted for a replacement a decade ago. The functionality can’t be manufactured overnight. Finding a replacement platform will be challenging with the 747-8 line closing down. The aircraft is almost 50 yrs old and needs to be replaced.

IT IS NOT MADE TO SAVE THE LIFE OF THE PRESIDENT IN TURN, IT IS MADE TO KEEP THEIR CONTROLLED SYSTEMS ALWAYS WORKING.

Beautiful fantastic airlines

this thing is always flying around Andrews

Scrap that all you need to do is get rid of the steps…

God bless USA, and respect. ❤

Update: E8C JSTARS is retired and will not “serve for years to come”.

Good to see. As a crew member (OT2) from 80-84 makes me feel proud.

Wonder what they will use for the next aircraft. The timer at 7:47. There’s no more orange for engine aircraft.

Looks like a boeing Be careful that doors might fall off with that thing.

I appreciate the Boeing 747! Pls go ahead and re-start the production!

I saw one in Nebraska

Dose it stays safe from emp?

When will it be used,the US is always living in fear

Did realize it was a completely different plane

With Slim Pickens at the controls (Doctor Strangelove)

This one in the video is not af one it is called looking glass it is the command and controll aircraft that flies while the president flies airforce one he has communications with looking glass from af one

Let's tell our enemies everything !!!!!!!!!!!

Suprised we didn’t spend more on it

Reminds me of By Dawns Early Light

Af one also has air to air refueling like looking glass af one has all the same fetures as the e4 aircraft

The big Point here; is who will supply the necessary sized airframe or large fuselage needed, for the next generation USAF E-4B replacement aircraft? The only two reasonable airframes at present, these are either a Boeing 747-8 4-engine freighter or passenger aircraft, with use of second hand airframes. Or similarly a second hand purchases of Airbus A380 4-engine passenger aircraft, or the US DoD having to think of using the likes of USAF Boeing C-17 transport 4-engine aircraft already in use too,. However, the USAF need all the C-17 transport aircraft they have, so really cannot afford to reduce this number, or the US DoD would have to ask Boeing to reopen C-17 production or 747-8 production and at what cost to the US Taxpayers too? There is no suitable 4-engine airframe currently in production large enough, to the size of the four Boeing E-4B's (747-200's), anywhere in the Western Aviation world. Boeing must know this too, unless the US Government and US DoD plus USAF, are going to fund a multi-billion dollar all new super large airframe development and research plus production too, that is for just for a limited 4 aircraft production run. Which is highly unlikely, the only option then left open to the USAF and US DoD, is to down size to basically a large body airframe, the likes of either Boeing 777-9X or 777-10X long-range, wide-body, twin-engine jetliners. Or look to Airbus to supply the necessary airframe, with either E-4B replacement based on Airbus A350-900ULR long-range, wide-body, twin-engine passenger aircraft. Or a new variant of the A350-1000 maybe A350-1000XLR extended long-range, stretched-wide-body, twin-engine passenger aircraft possibility too? However Airbus would have to work with or be the airframe supplier, to a major US Defence Aerospace Company, to get such a defence contract from the US DoD, in other words Airbus would need to be in partnership, with Lockheed Martin, or Northrop Grumman or Boeing even, maybe BAe Systems in the the United States possibility too. Or maybe a Boeing 787-9X / 787-10x variant, long-range and stretched wide-body, twin-engine jetliners, could be offered as a suitable airframe to be used for a replacement for the E-4B's? Again Boeing would have to be directly or indirectly involved, with going with a Boeing 777 variant or a 787 variant, especially over new built airframes, even if Lockheed Martin, or Northrop Grumman or maybe BAe Systems in the the United States, were awarded a US DoD contract to supply the next generation of the E-4B platform too. Which or at the end of the day, Boeing it seems will play some involvement, in a future replacement of the USAF E-4B aircrafts, but US DoD contract terms will need changing first it seems?

A week at a time .... Sure ;) Electro-Magnetic Pulse Shielding ... Are you really sure? ;)

I guess its de-classified now

What happens to this marvel when GeoGravity changes

As long as the presidents safe thats all that really matters. Us plebs don't matter at all so no point in protecting anyone else except our "betters".

Viva Eua Bella nave bellisima . Pero no es mejor luchar por La Paz . 🤷🏿‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

It takes them a decade to build the new air force 1

Airborne

Most people don't watch this stuff, engineers should.

The very Cool piece of History. That Is the Newest Plant used as Airforce One. President Trump Chose most all the Plane. President Trump has own own Boeing Two Monster of a Plane.

The dome is 6 feet thick? How is that possible? What am I missing?

It may come as a surprise to some Americans, but after a possible nuclear war, it doesn't matter where anyone is. Even if this plane can still take off undisturbed, it has to land at some point. Yes, the air tankers also have to take off and land. But after a nuclear strike there will be no more airports. A flying "bunker" that needs around 2 km of runway doesn't need anything at all. The question arises as to why such an aircraft would be built at all when every physicist, every engineer and every sensible person knows what happens on Earth after 20,000 nuclear warheads are detonated. In comparison, the game/series “Fallout 4” would be a harmless number. Realize that.

Amen

“Inside” ?

So they're up in the air in the plane, then what do they do? The Earth will be destroyed

They need to do this to the c5M.

It’s called crystal palace,,

Call sign Titan 25...

I wonder if she'll be replaced as she's getting mighty old!

Interesting. I never heard of this plane before. I'm glad it exists. I hope there is also a similar submarine. Along with the known underground complex that would mean there would be a triad of survivability options. If something terrible happened to take out the president, terror and chaos would reign. That would be horrible to behold.

😅 its a plane not a bunker ..it will.go down like any other

It’s existence has not been denied …. Geez get your facts correct ….. ifs been public for 30 plus years

機首後方上部にあるエアダクト？これは何ですか？世界の皆さん教えてください🙏南無ー

Davon habe ich soeben Stück, für jeden Tag eine😅

all GIE hires... it should be just the best of the best but because of Sir Floyd and his "asthma"

Has to be more than 250 million , regular jet is 200 million.

The planes total cost is 4 billion dollars 💸 AF1

US ,presiden air force one in for programs to siends and tehnologi

Cadê o pulo do 🐱 gato?

E8 has been retired

ABPも最近、効かず。CMの入れ方がエグイ。徐々にKZfaqから 離れて行っている自分が居る。

Anyone want to guess where the E-4B’s just happened to be on Sept. 11?

Im surprised there hasn't been à nuclear powered plane that çan stay in air indefinitely

Why do we have to share this ?

Right now its the most expensive flying garbage truck (Fjb)

God. Bless America 🇺🇸

Let's let enemy indide

Is it Bombadier....or is it Bombardier. I've certainly heard of a Bombardier executive jet...but never a Bombadier executive jet!

Safely run the country !? 🤔

Can we trade it in on a used ‘78 Cessna?

It's Bomb-ard-E-eh. French pronunciation

why save his life if everyone else dies?

Is there a gym inside? I might need one 💪

I hope it’s not made by Boeing

I don't understand how a video like this can be shown, if this in fact is the real plane? Either misinformation, or blatant statement of US power(as a deterrent, which i agree with). So many of these Flutus videos do the same. Hide in plain sight to keep the enemy guessing? Naivete on my part? Possibly. In any event, proud of the men and women who do the heavy lifting.

They put a submarine sailor in jail for taking 2 pictures for his wife and look at this. Wow we are dumb

When is the new Air Force one going to be flying
