"The Boeing VC-25 is arguably the most famous jetliner in the world, even though most people have never heard of it. Most do know it, though, by the call sign it's assigned when the president of the United States is on board: Air Force One. Air Force One is instantly recognizable, both as the president's airplane and as a flying symbol of American military and economic might."
"With its hand-polished blue, white, and silver livery, Air Force One boldly proclaims the arrival of the leader of the free world. The US president is not the only one to have their own presidential jet. A number of prominent international leaders also use some form of executive transport. The Boeing 747 jumbo jet is a popular option for many nations, including China, India, and South Korea."
The Boeing VC-25 serves as the U.S. presidential transport and is known by the call sign Air Force One when the president is aboard.
