Air Force One is designated for any plane carrying the President of the United States, a practice that began in the mid-20th century. The first dedicated jet for a president, used by John F. Kennedy, marked a significant shift in presidential travel. Today, Air Force One, often referred to as the 'flying Oval Office,' includes comprehensive facilities tailored to the president's needs. This includes various amenities necessary for both work and comfort during flights. Recent discussions around new paint colors proposed by President Trump signify ongoing evolutions of this iconic aircraft.
Since the mid-20th century, US presidents have flown on special planes designated as 'Air Force One' while carrying out their official duties.
Nicknamed the 'flying Oval Office,' today's Air Force One is equipped with everything the president might need, including office spaces, two kitchens, sleeping quarters, and a fully functional operating room.
John F. Kennedy was the first to use a jet designed specifically for a US president.
