Air Force One is the official air traffic control call sign of any United States Air Force aircraft carrying the President of the United States. Since 1990, the presidential fleet has consisted of two specifically configured, highly customized Boeing 747-200B series aircraft - tail codes Special Air Mission (SAM) "28000" and SAM "29000" - with Air Force designation "VC-25A". While these aircraft have the call sign "Air Force One" only while the president is on board, the term is colloquially used to describe either of the two aircraft normally used and maintained by the U.S. Air Force solely for the president, as well as any additional Air Force aircraft used by the president.
B747-200
The Boeing 747-200 is a medium to long-range wide-body commercial airliner that was introduced in 1971 and was in service till the 1990s. It was an improvement over the 747-100 with a longer range, larger fuel capacity and a more advanced avionics system. The aircraft could accommodate up to 416 passengers in a typical two-deck configuration and was popular among airlines for its high-capacity and efficiency. The 747-200 was used for both passenger and freight transportation, with several airlines using it to serve long-haul routes. The aircraft's distinctive humped fuselage design made it one of the most recognizable aircraft in aviation history
