Museum Provenance

Air Force One is the official call sign for any United States Air Force aircraft carrying the President of the United States. Currently, the presidential fleet includes two highly customized Boeing 747-200B series aircraft, maintained by the 89th Airlift Wing at Andrews Air Force Base. Its 4,000 square feet of floor space includes a bedroom, bathroom, workout room and office for the President; a conference room/dining room, staff office areas, and a separate area for reporters traveling with the President. In the National Museum of American History, Behring Center, virtual exhibit, The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden, all aspects of the Presidency are explored from elections, to the private life of Presidents in and out of the White House, to presidential aviation.
