How Air Force One Works
This site explains the intricacies of Air Force One, technically, the "radio call name for any U.S. Air Force plane carrying the president of the United States" and generally Boeing 747-200B jets. Covers the history, amenities, and workings of the "flying White House." Call signs for other branches of the armed forces are "Army One" (Army aircraft) and "Marine One" (helicopter).
