VC-25A - Air Force One

The mission of the VC-25A aircraft -- Air Force One -- is to provide air transport for the president of the United States. The presidential air transport fleet consists of two specially configured Boeing 747-200B's -- tail numbers 28000 and 29000 -- with the Air Force designation VC-25A. When the president is aboard either aircraft, or any Air Force aircraft, the radio call sign is "Air Force One."
Principal differences between the VC-25A and the standard Boeing 747, other than the number of passengers carried, are the electronic and communications equipment aboard Air Force One, its interior configuration and furnishings, self-contained baggage loader, front and aft air-stairs, and the capability for inflight refueling.

Accommodations for the president include an executive suite consisting of a stateroom (with dressing room, lavatory and shower) and the president's office. A conference/dining room is also available for the president, his family and staff. Other separate accommodations are provided for guests, senior staff, Secret Service and security personnel, and the news media. Two galleys provide up to 100 meals at one sitting. Six passenger lavatories, including disabled access facilities, are provided as well as a rest area and mini-galley for the aircrew. The VC-25A also has a compartment outfitted with medical equipment and supplies for minor medical emergencies.

These aircraft are flown by the presidential aircrew, maintained by the Presidential Maintenance Branch, and are assigned to Air Mobility Command's 89th Airlift Wing, Andrews Air Force Base, Md.



The first VC-25A -- tail number 28000 -- flew as "Air Force One" on Sept. 6, 1990, when it transported President George Bush to Kansas, Florida and back to Washington, D.C. A second VC-25A, tail number 29000 transported President Bill Clinton and former Presidents Carter and Bush to Israel for the funeral of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. The VC-25A will usher presidential travel into the 21st century, upholding the proud tradition and distinction of being known as "Air Force One."


VC-25 aircraft are extensively modified B-747-200s with the basic airframe technology of the 1960s. The aircraft incorporates state-of-the-art avionics and communications equipment with Stage III compliant engines. Boeing is currently delivering B-747s throughout the world, so the logistics support base appears secure for the foreseeable future. With the continuing march of technology and the prestige attached to the U.S. Presidential airlift fleet, Air Force plans recommend a system review date of 2010. At this point, the aircraft will have been in service 20 years, and commercial operators will have retired their B-747-200s counterparts from front-line service.

空軍一號是對搭載美國總統的任何美國空軍飛機的稱呼，目前美國總統最常用的是兩架VC-25A飛機，尾號28000和SAM 29000。兩架飛機是改裝過的波音747-2G4B民航機。在28000和SAM 29000於1990年開始服役之前，空軍一號是兩架波音707-320B飛機，尾號26000和27000，這兩架飛機從1958年起就開始服役了。

空軍一號主要改裝了飛機的內部裝璜和設施，以更適合總統在空中行駛其職責，飛機上有休息區、辦公區、兩個廚房、一個手術台、藥房、通訊系統、電話和電視機等。此外還特別為總統的家人、白宮員工和媒體記者保留了空間。在諸如核戰爭等緊急狀態中，空軍一號也可以成為一個軍事命令中心。此外還加入了空中加油的設備以及反地對空飛彈系統。

空軍一號的所有飛行都屬於空軍的軍事行動，由位於馬利蘭州的安德魯空軍基地的總統飛行組負責。從白宮到安德魯空軍基地總統一般先要搭乘美國海軍陸戰隊的專用直升機海軍陸戰隊一號。同樣的，搭承總統的陸軍交通工具被稱為陸軍一號，搭承總統的海軍交通工具被稱為海軍一號，而搭載總統的民航飛機則被稱為執行一號（Executive One）。

A:

護航空軍一號的戰機有哪些？

Q:


一般來說護航任務至少會由一個戰鬥機中隊
及數量不等的空中預警機擔任
此外也有可能將空中加油機納編

至於在國際海域遇敵機接近
這簡直是不可能的
因為美軍在全球都有部署部隊
即使沒有
也有航空母艦可以擔任護航戰機中隊的母艦
所以不需要盟國的支援

美國的主力戰機都有可能擔任空軍一號的護航戰機
F-16
F-18
F-14
F-15
或以後更先進的戰機都有可能
唯一確定的是
這些戰機一定是美國製的

A:

何為空軍一號?

Q:

空軍一號


將總統的飛機稱為“空軍一號”是在艾森豪威爾總統時代開始的，主要是為了安全原因。當年有一個擁有與總統飛機同樣代號的民航飛機正好與總統專機一起進入同一個空域，從此之後總統的飛機就有了一個特殊的名字，以和其他所有航班區別。

兩架總統專機只有當總統在飛機上時才被稱為空軍一號。當1974年尼克鬆總統辭職，然後搭乘總統專機離開安德魯空軍基地時，飛機的代碼被改成了飛機的尾號，只有當繼任的福特總統正式接任後，才恢復了空軍一號的代號。

“空軍一號”已經成為總統權力的象徵，她伴隨美國總統多次執行外交任務，並見證了許多歷史性時刻：1963年11月22日，空軍一號SAM 26000將總統約翰·肯尼迪帶到了達拉斯，肯尼迪卻不幸被暗殺，副總統約翰遜就是在空軍一號上宣誓繼任美國總統的；1971年，空軍一號又陪伴了尼克鬆總統完成了歷史性的中國之行；2004年在高度保密的狀態下，空軍一號搭載小布希總統到伊拉克首都巴格達國際機場探望駐紮當地的美軍部隊。

空軍一號，大家一定會想到電影"空軍一號"的劇情吧
說實在那部片的確是不錯(扣掉那些軍事錯誤的話)

下官在考指職士官的當天(91年)，下午就在萬品館買到空軍一號的模型(600)
只不過運氣很衰...快回到家的時候模型被風吹走，被後面的車輛輾斃(挖勒="=)

隔天又買一次...真是下官心中的痛阿orz
