Secrets of Air Force One

July 01-15, 2011

Air Force One, the Presidential jet of USA has an aura of its own, but not many really know the interiors inside-out, that it is shrouded in secrecy. But in 2006, Air Force One was almost laid threadbare on a website, a major security lapse.

The diagrams showed the location of the President’s suite, at the very front of the Boeing 747, which is known to include a medical facility, workout room, kitchen and office, as well as a bedroom. Another showed the location of oxygen tanks which could, in theory, be targeted by a terrorist sniper.

The revelation included that Air Force One contained 85 telephones, 19 televisions, facilities for film screenings, flares to repel missiles and shielding to protect onboard electronics from an electromagnetic pulse.
