Here's what the U.S. President's Air Force One looks like, operated by the 89th Airlift Wing at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland.
Since 1990, the presidential fleet has consisted of two Boeing VC-25As specifically configured, highly customized Boeing 747-200B series aircraft. The Air Force is looking into replacing the two VC-25 aircraft with three replacement aircraft beginning in 2017.
The "flying Oval Office" has 4,000 square feet of interior floor space. Among its accommodations are:
Conference/dining room
Quarters for the president and the first lady
An office area for senior staff members
Another office that converts into a medical facility when necessary
Work and rest areas for the presidential staff, media representatives and Air Force crews
Two galleys that can provide 100 meals at one sitting
Multi-frequency radios for air-to-air, air-to-ground and satellite communications
Principal differences between Air Force One and the standard Boeing 747 include state-of-the-art navigation, electronic and communications equipment, interior configuration and furnishings, self-contained baggage loader, and front and aft air-stairs.
Here are some images.
