Mr.Habitat Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 so the Air Force One. a very modified B747-200B may be updated but still is a B747-200... the CC-150 Polaris is also outdated, actually even more than the MD11. the MD11 have a glass cockpit... in terms of "stock" (not modified) plane the B747-400ER, BBJ/BBJ2, ACJ and A330 and A340 are by far the most advanced ones. BUT if you consider modifications so yes the IL-96 and the VC-25 are the most advanced ones... ok. maybe Kim Il Sun from North Korea might consider their IL-62M the most advanced ones but North Korea lives on a diferent reality but for me. none beat this one... sorry folks. but the VASP MD11 was unique... As a kid I loved those planes so much. First plane ride was in one to Hawaii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gross-Misconduct Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Quick fun fact: Any plane that a current U.S. president is on is called Airforce-1. If they took him for a ride in a small Cesna-150, the pilot would have to change the Cessna's call sign when he radioed to the tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Saudi King Abdullah who died cpl months ago used to fly with 5 planes. I doubt his brother and successor King Salman downgraded much. Apparently 1 of the planes is a custom designed A380. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violator Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 My all time favorite plane.I applied for a jobto be on the crew that loads this plane when it comes to Calgary to pickup mods for O&G.Didn't get the job though :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMohammadman Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Exteriors are great but dem interiors though Saudi: USA: I know this is waaaaaaay off topic, but my favorite plane (I know its fake) will always be this, from Marvel's Agents of Shield. It's called "the bus": They've got a "command center" and whatnot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called "the bus": They've got a "command center" and whatnot and then we see the diference between a luxury interior and a real tatic plane... BRAZIL: behold and tremble with the power of a HP D110 printer and tremble! TREMBLE! a shower?! Really? and my taxes are paying for you take a shower on an executive A319? WTF!? now this thing is interesting: http://www.paramountbusinessjets.com/blog/2015/02/worlds-top-10-presidential-aircraft/ wow. Zimbabwe is spending US$400 million on an used Ari Zimbabwe b767-200ER... and here comes Mexico with a brand new B787-8 for just US$ 600 million!

SabreFan1 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Only if it's an USAF aircraft...otherwise it's Marine/Navy/Army One. Or Executive One, if civilian-owned. That goes w/o saying. That's why it's called "Airforce". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 For anyone that's into aircraft, or has kids that are, I highly recommend the Museum of Flight in Seattle. It has the original Air Force One on display, loads of aircraft displays, space capsules, rockets, etc. http://www.museumofflight.org/air-force-one Or, equally cool, is the Future of Flight at Boeing field in Everett. There's a museum there and you can go on a tour of the Boeing plant and see how they build the aircraft. http://www.futureofflight.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trek Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I think I read somewhere that the US has signed an agreement to purchase two new 747-8 aircraft for use as the new Air Force One. Should be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Which one logs the most flight hours? My guess would be the Canadian jet, but Obama golfs in Hawaii, so... That and when he meets with ISIS leaders in Syria every month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALGARY! Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I like Brunei's 340-200, one of my favorite plane, poor climb performance, but has the longest range of the bunch, and I imagine its pretty decked out inside. I'm with the OP though, would be cool if someone converted an MD-11, as they, along with the DC-10 are my two favorite airliners of all time. Not planes, but airliners anyways.

Not planes, but airliners anyways. good planes are mass produced... great planes are made for a few examples. Concorde, X-15, IL-96... ok. I know it´s not true but MD11 is a damm good plane. FEDEX loves it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
