Why Transporting the US President Costs $821,000 per Day

Check them out!

Transporting the US President is an efficient, yet complicated and costly process. Whenever he has to fly, so do his cars, and even the helicopters have to be transported inside large airplanes. But why a US President would ever drive in a gangster's car, is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT #longs

1941 secret service cars have style, ngl

@7:40 there are two VA-25As in service. But they are sister planes. Identical (as far as we know) inside and out. The "Doom's day plane", while also based on a 747 airframe, is designated the E-4B. And serves as an advanced airborne command post. Callsign: Night Watch

Man, I don't think I'll be able to get away with "Honey, it's not what you think", thank you very much.

I hope we will see the Space Force One someday

[alecarrington]

Incorrect, Air force one is the callsign for any plane caring the president, and Marine one is the same but for helicopter

[militaryavr]

7:46 You have your facts WAY wrong. There are two VC-25As that serve as Air Force One, but they are both identical blue & white aircraft based at Andrews AFB, MD. The white aircraft you show is a completely different aircraft. Yes, it's nicknamed the "Doomsday Aircraft" but it's an E-4B not a VC-25, and it's based out of Nebraska.

It still is a gangster car. It hauls gangsters.

[lfteri]

The state pays for the president's transportation during his election campaign? I must have misunderstood something

[Zubayer_Islam_Rezoan]

President George W. Bush visited Iraq in December 2008 with a convoy of six identical limousines and other vehicles. I saw a footage of those limos running side by side in a documentary but never found it again. It was a cool thing to watch and I am still searching for it.

2:16 (We know who's sleeping in the doghouse tonight?) 😈

[Kiyoone]

less than 1 min and we understand why US was GREAT back in time....
from "not allowed to expend more than $$" to "Burn money with overpriced tags!!!"

[RainbowSix_DE]

The Doomsday plane is called E4 nightwatch and there are 4 E4 that have nothing do to with the two VC25s except that both are based on Boeing 747-200B

[Its-Just-Zip]

Rail one should actually be considered a thing given that the US secret service actually operated a series of rail cars before the first presidential jet plane was aquired.

Even if the rail stock was retired well before the AF1 callsighn was created.

[saga_hee]

Imagine seeing the president of USA inside a modified M1 Abram tank just so he/she can get to the white house safety 💀

[Unknown_Ooh]

I actually like the SAM 970 livery compared to what we got now. Itd be pretty cool if they changed at least one of the 747 liveries to it as a heritage scheme or something.

[Idlehampster]

The first thumbnail of the SUV's unloading from the plane was cooler.

[TPAspotter]

That's TPA at 11:36. My hometown airport looking young and much smaller.

[Mr.Manta]

Yeah, I know executive one. That's when the president travels on his executive

[DiHandley]

You have a decidedly bent sense of humour. And I like it! 😂😂
