I'd love to get as many photos as possible from it. Since i'm making a 747-200 for X-Plane 11 and i plan to make AF1 later, based on my model. If anyone has access to that airplane - please do it.
One of the presidents plane is tail number 26000. It is the plane that brought President Kennedy back to Washington. It has been restored to make it look like that day. My brother retired from the Air Force after serving 26 years and Write-Pat was his last duty station. You can tour those presidential planes but call ahead first to see if it is going to be open that day as this hanger sits on an active part of the base.

Hey Kelsey, I grew up around the DC area and can tell you Andrews AFB has an AMAZING airshow, and sometimes they have actually let "Air Force 2 and 3" be put on display before. I remember you couldn't tour the whole aircraft, but they put plastic panels up so you could peak at crew compartments and such!
The top speed of the A-10 Thunderbolt is 438mph so the 747 is much faster. The A-10 is armed so it has that going for it but in a drag race the 747 will always win.
I suppose there's the possibility that the radar lock is from the fighters' targeting suite, and that they then launched heat seekers. I honestly don't know enough though to give anything other than guesswork.
Yeah, the radar lock could've just been a general lock, not necessarily missile lock. And chaff usually is deployed at the same time as flares so I guess it could be explained. At the very least it should say countermeasures deployed!
@@nekomatafuyu You are correct this is entirely possible. The migs radars would show a lock regardless and the pilots would fire an infrared guided missile at this range. So the scene isnt that bad. However, that still raises the issue that the radar warning receiver and countermeasure system used by the US air force would not be able to detect an infrared missile launch automatically like it can a radar guided missile launch, Harrison Ford would need to press a button to deploy flares manually. To this day in most aircraft infrared missile launches are still detected with the mk1 eyeball.
Harrison went from a good-looking dude with swag to just looking like an old putz very quickly. No longer had the Hollywood looks and swag at this point, just looked like an old dude.
6:15 also the cockpit doors would and should be bulletproof "The new door withstands bullets and small explosives and can resist a force equivalent to an NFL linebacker hitting it at Olympic sprinter speed, said Jim Proulx, The Boeing Co."
Also, it's fairly difficult (not to mention dangerous) to try and shoot open a well-build door with an assault rifle. There is a reason they use shotguns for that. But that's a thing holywood regularly does, treating firearms as magic firesticks that do exactly what you want them to do, except shooting the guy with good plot armor

That was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I had left the VFX facility that botched this one up a few years earlier. They really hacked this one up ! Especially that last water shot. What a hack.
I work at an FBO where I've seen Harrison Ford fly in several times, in a CJ. He sits in the captain's seat, unlike John Travolta who has always arrived as a passenger. The first time I was behind him as he climbed aboard, I couldn't help but hope he said "get off my plane!" But alas, he didn't. Incidentally, the part of the movie I always say is the most unrealistic is something you mentioned, about the 747 banking around the tower. 🙄

I’m not a Air Force pilot but I had watched a Air Force One documentary and The VC-25 has the most elite 747 crew with a Captain, First Officer, A flight Engineer and a Navigater with his station to the left when you enter cockpit. And the pilots have a Digital PFD and MFD but the engine gauges are still the same.And the Navigator has MFD as well.The PFD and MFD are Positioned like the PFD and MFD it the 767 and 757 but there is no ECAS panel they still have the old steam gauges for the Engines
I expect that would be interesting. I saw a magician doing a very brief Hollywood vs. Reality video for one magic trick that happens in the movie, and they pretty much got it right -- so I would not be surprised if they also did a good job of the parts that they didn't intentionally screw up for comedy.
If I ever get my pilot's license, then somehow go through everything it takes to learn to fly a 747, then somehow get lucky enough to fly with you....I'm going to make that face throughout the entire flight.
As to the interior look of the airplane, according to IMDB, the director actually got access to the real Air Force One thanks to Harrison Ford calling the White House.
@@choccymalk123 did he also discover a hidden compartment under the Oval Office where he found ancient Egyptian cold in a room that he easily navigated but pursuing Nazis were easily deceived and died?
I know it's a movie, so we can for the most part treat it as just a bit of fun, but if we are gonna talk realism, the bit when there are a flight of four MiG-29s (which is quite possibly one of the best and most agile jet fighters of recent times) that are unable to shoot down a big lumbering B747 despite being line astern from the thing at what is pretty much the optimal firing range for both guns and short range IR guided missiles, is preposterous. The MiG-29's internal gun is the GSh-30-1. This is a 30mm auto-cannon with has an effective range of up to 1,800 metres; it fires 1,500 rounds per minute, so just one of those fighters - let alone a flight of four of them - is going to make pretty short work of shooting down a big airliner if it opens up on it with that thing with even a very short burst of gunfire, since it fires about 25 explosive 30mm cannon shells every second; just a couple of hits would probably be fatal for what is essentially a thin-skinned commercial airliner. You would have to be the most inept fighter pilot ever to not be able to hit an airliner with a wingspan of nearly 200 feet, which is in a slow turn a few hundred meters in front of you when firing at it with a gun like that because this is pretty much the ideal set up for an easy guns kill. At that kind of range, the MiGs might use short-range IR-guided (i.e. heat-seeking) missiles to destroy such a target as is shown in the movie, although in fact the MiG-29 can also carry the longer-ranged Vympel R-27, which comes in two flavours; one is a semi-active radar homing variant, the other uses a an infra-red heat seeking sensor, so they could in reality have engaged it from well beyond visual range, but of course that doesn't make for an exciting scene in a movie, so instead the film-makers went for short ranged missiles. On a MiG-29, those short-ranged missiles would either be Vympel R-73s (minimum engagement distance is about 300 metres; maximum firing range is about 4km), or they might more likely be Vympel R-60s for a Soviet client state, as these older missiles are often a bit more likely to be exported. And on the subject of air to air missiles, that's another thing which movies always get completely wrong too: Missiles such as the ones mentioned above do not come off the launch rails of the fighter which is firing them, like they are laser beams - they typically drop considerably before igniting the propellant in order to ensure they clear the aircraft. For example, an AIM-9 Sidewinder missile - which is the western equivalent to those two Russian IR-guided missiles - can drop as much as 100 feet below the aeroplane before it will begin tracking its target. It's worth noting too that missiles such as these do not have a rocket engine which burns throughout the flight; the rocket engine typically burns for only a few seconds to accelerate the missile to speeds of around Mach 2.5, and having reached that speed quickly, the missile effectively 'coasts' its way to the target. So showing such missiles with a glowing tailpipe is incorrect, they most often just leave a big trail of smoke from the still very hot but no longer functioning rocket motor. Fun missile fact: Because the seeker head is constantly scanning to track the target on such IR-guided missiles, the missile tends to make a lot of course corrections, so the smoke trail such missiles leave is often quite serpentine in appearance; this is where the Sidewinder missile gained its name. The worst offender for an appallingly unrealistic depiction of missiles in movies, is however the 2001 film Behind Enemy Lines, where an F/A-18 Super Hornet is depicted being shot down by a Serbian 9M33 missile which apparently has an endless supply of rocket propellant that allows it to make numerous turns so if can have several goes at trying to hit the aircraft. This is absolutely laughable. It is one of numerous factual inaccuracies and laughable mistakes in that movie, which are almost too many in number to list. Incidentally, if you like aeroplane action movies which portray things fairly realistically but which is still fun to watch, look no further than the 1991 movie, Flight of the Intruder, which has a very realistic portrayal of surface to air missiles engaging Grumman A-6 Intruders which are running bombing missions over North Vietnam. It's a great, fun movie if you like a bit of jet aeroplane action.
I like your insight. Thanks for the knowledge shared. Only realized now that they could have shot the plane down with their gun's and Hollywood left that out deliberately.
And if they're missed the 747 they could go for another run. But they seemed to just abandoned it. I mean, they probably still had some rounds inside the GSh-30-1 cannon..
Great write-up, but I gave you the thumb for the suggestion to watch Flight of the Intruder, probably my favorite airplane film! "Fighter pukes make movies. Bomber pilots make HISTORY!"
I guess they decided to take some "artistic license" since they needed a scene where Air Force One is in danger of being shot down, but still not get shot down. But yeah, no way they shouldn't have easily been able to do so in the situation depicted.
Behind Enemy Lines has so many mistakes in it. Do not watch it with a pilot and god help you once he lands in the tree. From there on do not watch it at all with a SERE guy. Hollywood made so many mistakes you can rip that movie apart all the way to the end. One of the best is him talking on the PRC-90 radio and it’s not even turned on.
Salt Lake City International still has runways that are too short for 747s, except in emergencies like in Airport '75. A better choice would have been HAFB.
Absolutely love learning what pilots and the crew go through. Thank you for sharing. An idea, can you share with us one of your flights that did not go so well
Thank you, Kelsey for this and the others videos: you're funny and informative. Plus, for me it's a great way to improve my English. They rerun this movie yesterday and I was eager to know your opinion about it. I appreciate very much your work because I was a passenger on the 747 many times especially over the Atlantic: now they use mostly Airbuses or 777. Keep up with the good work!
Love how you can see Kelsey, moving his feet as if he’s actually using the rudder as he’s explaining this. I do that all the time when describing things, I’ll move as if I’m doing it. Don’t know if this is a normal thing to do, probably, but at least I know I’m not the only one!! (I know we can’t see his feet, but if you watch you can tell he is by the way his upper body moves. I just know under that desk that his feet were going!!)
Dude i love your videos. As a former ATC'er your perspectives and enthusiasm for what you do is awesome. You are a lucky man. My neighbor flies 47's for UPS out of Anchorage. He lives in Tacoma. keep up the great work.
I have 4 questions. 1) How long did it take you to qualify (or how much seniority) for a 747? 2) What made you or why did you want to fly a 747? 3) I know on a long haul there are bellow decks sleeping areas for the crew. Do you get to use them (I’m think not) if, not, do you and the 1st officer take power naps? 4) Before you could fly a 747, did you have to be a 1st mate first? Thank you.
I looked up the pilot instrumentation panel of AFO during the 90's and pretty much looks like the one shown in the movie. There is a documentary called "Inside AFO" on here filmed by National Geographic during the Bush W administration. Very well done. Check it out. But the turbines on AFO let out an enormous amount of thrust. Thia is not a regular commercial aircaft, its a military aircraft.
13:43 "Who's gonna fly the plane, make sure it lands on a runway this time?" "I'll take care of that sir. In my other job I'm a pilot for Air Canada." "Oh. Shit."
Hey Kelsey, love your channel! I stumbled into your channel a couple weeks back and you never fail to entertain. As I saw that you do a lot of movie reviews, I was wondering if this topic was pertinent. Do you think that the mistakes made in the movies are to protect certain FAA violations, security issues and what not? Like the technical dialogue and such?
I discovered your channel yesterday, I love it already! As a kid, jetset around the world with my parents, I always wanted to be an airline pilot. Sadly I never realized that dream. Oh well. Your channel is fun.
I always found it odd that the pilots didn't just do a belly landing at Ramstein - would have prevented the terrorists from being able to take off again, in the event that they got the door open. I know it would have been risky, but probably a risk worth taking.
@@TheJer1963 to add to your comment, it also makes the flight crew look heroic for very nearly thwarting the terrorist plot, and sets a scenario for the capability of the terrorist pilot.
"You can't land on autopilot" Since flying with a keyboard is pretty much impossible for me in the flight sim that I play and it doesn't support autoland, I had to find a creative way of using the AP, (let it go down the glide slope, at the last ~100 feet switch over to alt hold and fiddle with vertical speed), so hold my beer! XD
It's what you should do in a plane: get the plane to 1m to 10m (depending on the type) over the runway and hold the aircraft stable at that altitude without power. It goes down itself if all power is consumed. Airline pilotes lands sometimes "early" with higher speed as they are used to land in bad weather (where normal pilots wouldn't flying) If you are used to "newer" landings you touch down earlier and fly still there is no lift left on the wing (your plane is still partways on the landing gear).
@Kelsey, Keep doing your videos, love them (as many others do). I can tell you, when you talked about the flaps, I did a frame by frame, and I see at 6:44, there look like Flaps 20/30 out, but then at 6:47 (very hollywood), no flaps. LOL
@carlos Rivas I would be more interested in seeing them go back and forth at what would actually constitute a sin - that's actually what I was getting at. Apologies for my ambiguity!

As a retired ground crew instructor for United , I worked the first 747 out of O'hare back in 1970 and the door opening scene I agree is impossible, first it is a plug type door and if he could of opened it the door is hinged on the right side and swings in before it goes out and even if the door opened to the outside the airstream would most likely prevent the door to open because they open and swing to the right ! but I still liked the movie and I enjoy watching Airplane movies and nit pic them as you do with my experience of a instructor in ground service. Enjoyed your narration !
If the flight deck hatch opens inwards, I imagine it would be impossible to open into a pressurized cabin at altitude unless it has powerful leverage on its handle, wouldn't it?
Only when regular science applies. The other doors in a 747 are also plug doors, opening inwards (and after that, you can turn the door and push it outward through the opening). That movie scene (among several others) reveals that Hollywood Science is in effect. The hinge is also towards the nose of the 747. Yes, there may be different doors on cargo versions of the 747, but all Air Force 1 models have main deck doors opening forward. Also, he left the mode selector at AUTOMATIC. Yep, it's always to deploy the emergency slide. Note that, contrary to common belief (at least in Hollywood), the opening of aircraft door does not cause explosions.
One thing about Air Force One that alot of people dont know is that "Air Force One" isnt an individual plane, its a designator. Any plane the president gets on receives the designation "Air Force One." The plane most people think of as Air Force One is just the Presidents normal air transportation.

My whole life is a lie!!1!
If I ever get my pilot's license, then somehow go through everything it takes to learn to fly a 747, then somehow get lucky enough to fly with you....I'm going to make that face throughout the entire flight.
As to the interior look of the airplane, according to IMDB, the director actually got access to the real Air Force One thanks to Harrison Ford calling the White House.
lol
@@choccymalk123 did he also discover a hidden compartment under the Oval Office where he found ancient Egyptian cold in a room that he easily navigated but pursuing Nazis were easily deceived and died?
I remember they also wanted to film on Air Force One and the Secret Service to them no and to go buy a 747 and paint it.
hm
Can't get enough of your videos!!! Thank you!
Can you do the Airport series of movies Airport, Airport 75, Airport 77, Airport Concorde? I really enjoyed these films.
I know it's a movie, so we can for the most part treat it as just a bit of fun, but if we are gonna talk realism, the bit when there are a flight of four MiG-29s (which is quite possibly one of the best and most agile jet fighters of recent times) that are unable to shoot down a big lumbering B747 despite being line astern from the thing at what is pretty much the optimal firing range for both guns and short range IR guided missiles, is preposterous.
The MiG-29's internal gun is the GSh-30-1. This is a 30mm auto-cannon with has an effective range of up to 1,800 metres; it fires 1,500 rounds per minute, so just one of those fighters - let alone a flight of four of them - is going to make pretty short work of shooting down a big airliner if it opens up on it with that thing with even a very short burst of gunfire, since it fires about 25 explosive 30mm cannon shells every second; just a couple of hits would probably be fatal for what is essentially a thin-skinned commercial airliner. You would have to be the most inept fighter pilot ever to not be able to hit an airliner with a wingspan of nearly 200 feet, which is in a slow turn a few hundred meters in front of you when firing at it with a gun like that because this is pretty much the ideal set up for an easy guns kill.
At that kind of range, the MiGs might use short-range IR-guided (i.e. heat-seeking) missiles to destroy such a target as is shown in the movie, although in fact the MiG-29 can also carry the longer-ranged Vympel R-27, which comes in two flavours; one is a semi-active radar homing variant, the other uses a an infra-red heat seeking sensor, so they could in reality have engaged it from well beyond visual range, but of course that doesn't make for an exciting scene in a movie, so instead the film-makers went for short ranged missiles. On a MiG-29, those short-ranged missiles would either be Vympel R-73s (minimum engagement distance is about 300 metres; maximum firing range is about 4km), or they might more likely be Vympel R-60s for a Soviet client state, as these older missiles are often a bit more likely to be exported.
And on the subject of air to air missiles, that's another thing which movies always get completely wrong too: Missiles such as the ones mentioned above do not come off the launch rails of the fighter which is firing them, like they are laser beams - they typically drop considerably before igniting the propellant in order to ensure they clear the aircraft. For example, an AIM-9 Sidewinder missile - which is the western equivalent to those two Russian IR-guided missiles - can drop as much as 100 feet below the aeroplane before it will begin tracking its target. It's worth noting too that missiles such as these do not have a rocket engine which burns throughout the flight; the rocket engine typically burns for only a few seconds to accelerate the missile to speeds of around Mach 2.5, and having reached that speed quickly, the missile effectively 'coasts' its way to the target. So showing such missiles with a glowing tailpipe is incorrect, they most often just leave a big trail of smoke from the still very hot but no longer functioning rocket motor.
Fun missile fact: Because the seeker head is constantly scanning to track the target on such IR-guided missiles, the missile tends to make a lot of course corrections, so the smoke trail such missiles leave is often quite serpentine in appearance; this is where the Sidewinder missile gained its name.
The worst offender for an appallingly unrealistic depiction of missiles in movies, is however the 2001 film Behind Enemy Lines, where an F/A-18 Super Hornet is depicted being shot down by a Serbian 9M33 missile which apparently has an endless supply of rocket propellant that allows it to make numerous turns so if can have several goes at trying to hit the aircraft. This is absolutely laughable. It is one of numerous factual inaccuracies and laughable mistakes in that movie, which are almost too many in number to list.
Incidentally, if you like aeroplane action movies which portray things fairly realistically but which is still fun to watch, look no further than the 1991 movie, Flight of the Intruder, which has a very realistic portrayal of surface to air missiles engaging Grumman A-6 Intruders which are running bombing missions over North Vietnam. It's a great, fun movie if you like a bit of jet aeroplane action.
I like your insight. Thanks for the knowledge shared. Only realized now that they could have shot the plane down with their gun's and Hollywood left that out deliberately.
And if they're missed the 747 they could go for another run. But they seemed to just abandoned it. I mean, they probably still had some rounds inside the GSh-30-1 cannon..
Great write-up, but I gave you the thumb for the suggestion to watch Flight of the Intruder, probably my favorite airplane film! "Fighter pukes make movies. Bomber pilots make HISTORY!"
I guess they decided to take some "artistic license" since they needed a scene where Air Force One is in danger of being shot down, but still not get shot down. But yeah, no way they shouldn't have easily been able to do so in the situation depicted.
Behind Enemy Lines has so many mistakes in it. Do not watch it with a pilot and god help you once he lands in the tree. From there on do not watch it at all with a SERE guy. Hollywood made so many mistakes you can rip that movie apart all the way to the end. One of the best is him talking on the PRC-90 radio and it’s not even turned on.
I feel like you’re underselling the advantage of having William H. Macey as a copilot. 😜
hard to believe that Frank Gallagher used to work on air force one....he really went downhill after this crash.....lol
Contrary to popular opinion, William H Macey's constipation face *does* improve the flight characteristics of the aircraft.
I have learnt so much about airplanes in the last 2 weeks from watching your videos
8:19 "Come along major I'll need a co-pilot. Someone to let me know if I'm about to land on another taxiway."
"The odds of that being a taxiway are 1 in 1!"
"Never tell me the odds."
"Harrison Ford is a pilot in real life" yeah, and Harrison Ford also landed a plane on the taxiway...

@@LemonToGo to be fair it was more of a crash
@@martf8014 lol, just watched the video. He doesn't look like the luckiest person. Or maybe he just isn't the best pilot.
not on the Hudson river then? ;).
Please do Airport 1975. It's 70s Disaster Movie-level cheesy, but the in-flight cinematography is beautiful!
Salt Lake City International still has runways that are too short for 747s, except in emergencies like in Airport '75. A better choice would have been HAFB.
Yes, please do Airport 1975! The in- flight footage is amazing, and the script is fairly technical. I’d love to see your take on it!
I loved the way the film is referenced by Gibbs in the first episode of NCIS.
Absolutely love learning what pilots and the crew go through. Thank you for sharing. An idea, can you share with us one of your flights that did not go so well

Even with guided missiles?
TV tropes said they could have scrambled before they had a chance to ready their planes so they aren't fully armed.

Your reviews are great! You just got yourself a new subscriber.
Kelsie you made a face like you were relieved after Air Force one took off and barely cleared the other plane lol 😆
Thank you, Kelsey for this and the others videos: you're funny and informative. Plus, for me it's a great way to improve my English. They rerun this movie yesterday and I was eager to know your opinion about it. I appreciate very much your work because I was a passenger on the 747 many times especially over the Atlantic: now they use mostly Airbuses or 777. Keep up with the good work!

Love how you can see Kelsey, moving his feet as if he’s actually using the rudder as he’s explaining this. I do that all the time when describing things, I’ll move as if I’m doing it. Don’t know if this is a normal thing to do, probably, but at least I know I’m not the only one!! (I know we can’t see his feet, but if you watch you can tell he is by the way his upper body moves. I just know under that desk that his feet were going!!)
Great video. ☺️
Dude i love your videos. As a former ATC'er your perspectives and enthusiasm for what you do is awesome. You are a lucky man. My neighbor flies 47's for UPS out of Anchorage. He lives in Tacoma. keep up the great work.
That engine powering down sound on 13:31 sounded just like the Millennium Falcon when it failed to go into hyperspace.
Not to me.
I have 4 questions. 1) How long did it take you to qualify (or how much seniority) for a 747? 2) What made you or why did you want to fly a 747? 3) I know on a long haul there are bellow decks sleeping areas for the crew. Do you get to use them (I’m think not) if, not, do you and the 1st officer take power naps? 4) Before you could fly a 747, did you have to be a 1st mate first? Thank you.
Ha! Nice! You should do one on Executive Decision while you're on it! 😉
you never know what the next one will be glad you are subscribed so you will know when it comes out!
Yeah...will be looking forward to that one.
@@ErvinTagoe me too
Great one!! I would love to see Executive Decision! 👍🏽
@@74gear that movie is so bad LOL
I looked up the pilot instrumentation panel of AFO during the 90's and pretty much looks like the one shown in the movie. There is a documentary called "Inside AFO" on here filmed by National Geographic during the Bush W administration. Very well done. Check it out. But the turbines on AFO let out an enormous amount of thrust. Thia is not a regular commercial aircaft, its a military aircraft.
Another great video and analysis.
Thank you. Pilot
Me: Who likes this channel?
Gary Oldman: EVERYBODY!!!
When I saw this in the theatre. 6:something I actually laughed out loud.
13:43 "Who's gonna fly the plane, make sure it lands on a runway this time?" "I'll take care of that sir. In my other job I'm a pilot for Air Canada." "Oh. Shit."
I suggested “Air Force One”!! ✈️. Thank you for creating the video. ☺️
well I hope I didn't let you down on it Tara! 👍
Funniest one yet Kelsey Keep up the great work I truly enjoy your videos
When you are watching the hollywood films and you raise your eyebrows, it means "No chance!" Love your videos, keep up the good work.
Hey Kelsey, love your channel! I stumbled into your channel a couple weeks back and you never fail to entertain. As I saw that you do a lot of movie reviews, I was wondering if this topic was pertinent. Do you think that the mistakes made in the movies are to protect certain FAA violations, security issues and what not? Like the technical dialogue and such?
Ford: "I'm the shmuck who landed on the taxiway"
Me: "Get Off Your Plane"
In a year where Han Solo is the president
Certainly beats the current options.
i love your videos so much!
I discovered your channel yesterday, I love it already! As a kid, jetset around the world with my parents, I always wanted to be an airline pilot. Sadly I never realized that dream. Oh well. Your channel is fun.
I always found it odd that the pilots didn't just do a belly landing at Ramstein - would have prevented the terrorists from being able to take off again, in the event that they got the door open. I know it would have been risky, but probably a risk worth taking.
It's a movie so I want to be there more than 15 minutes.
@@TheJer1963 to add to your comment, it also makes the flight crew look heroic for very nearly thwarting the terrorist plot, and sets a scenario for the capability of the terrorist pilot.

"You can't land on autopilot"
Since flying with a keyboard is pretty much impossible for me in the flight sim that I play and it doesn't support autoland, I had to find a creative way of using the AP, (let it go down the glide slope, at the last ~100 feet switch over to alt hold and fiddle with vertical speed), so hold my beer! XD
It's what you should do in a plane: get the plane to 1m to 10m (depending on the type) over the runway and hold the aircraft stable at that altitude without power.
It goes down itself if all power is consumed. Airline pilotes lands sometimes "early" with higher speed as they are used to land in bad weather (where normal pilots wouldn't flying)
If you are used to "newer" landings you touch down earlier and fly still there is no lift left on the wing (your plane is still partways on the landing gear).
@Kelsey, Keep doing your videos, love them (as many others do). I can tell you, when you talked about the flaps, I did a frame by frame, and I see at 6:44, there look like Flaps 20/30 out, but then at 6:47 (very hollywood), no flaps. LOL
The good thing on His every video is It dont put ads

Until this point I did not realize how badly I needed Fast and Furious: Air Force 1 in my life.
As a retired ground crew instructor for United , I worked the first 747 out of O'hare back in 1970 and the door opening scene I agree is impossible, first it is a plug type door and if he could of opened it the door is hinged on the right side and swings in before it goes out and even if the door opened to the outside the airstream would most likely prevent the door to open because they open and swing to the right ! but I still liked the movie and I enjoy watching Airplane movies and nit pic them as you do with my experience of a instructor in ground service. Enjoyed your narration !
Thank you for doing these videos. You the best!
If the flight deck hatch opens inwards, I imagine it would be impossible to open into a pressurized cabin at altitude unless it has powerful leverage on its handle, wouldn't it?
Only when regular science applies. The other doors in a 747 are also plug doors, opening inwards (and after that, you can turn the door and push it outward through the opening). That movie scene (among several others) reveals that Hollywood Science is in effect. The hinge is also towards the nose of the 747. Yes, there may be different doors on cargo versions of the 747, but all Air Force 1 models have main deck doors opening forward.
Also, he left the mode selector at AUTOMATIC. Yep, it's always to deploy the emergency slide.
Note that, contrary to common belief (at least in Hollywood), the opening of aircraft door does not cause explosions.
“Get off my plane!” 0:12
you like that little change in the intro??
Air Force one is one of my fav movies of all time even tho it is 23 years old
Pause at 4:24 74 gear is right it’s not sharp so why does still cut the trees?
One thing about Air Force One that alot of people dont know is that "Air Force One" isnt an individual plane, its a designator. Any plane the president gets on receives the designation "Air Force One." The plane most people think of as Air Force One is just the Presidents normal air transportation.
