Product Description
Air Force One Dvd
Amazon.com
The world's most exclusive airplane, a combination of a luxury hotel and a super-secret military command post, is profiled in this documentary produced by National Geographic. The history of presidential flight, from its beginnings with President Roosevelt making a secret wartime flight in 1943, is covered, and particular attention is appropriately given to the historic flight that returned President Kennedy's body to Washington after his assassination. Filmed in the closing months of the Clinton administration, the film features the preparation for a presidential trip, which includes close involvement of the military and antiterrorist specialists of the U.S. Secret Service. The makers of this highly informative film were given unprecedented access to Air Force One, and the footage of the presidential 747 is spectacular. --Robert J. McNamara

Summary: Off We Go Into The Wild Blue Yonder 2008-07-25
Comment: The Air Force has helped put out a great educational film on Air Force One. You will see what others will not see as of course no tours are available. You start from when the Air Force started transporting Presidents up to the point of George W. Bush. It is both exciting and exhilarating. Don't let the title fool you. It of course takes you from preparations to take off up unto the time the President has made his final stop. It takes you off the airplane and shows you what goes into protecting the President to the home of the President in the air.

Summary: Honest coverage 2007-10-23
Comment: Fascinating by the honesty that nothing appeared 'set-up' or changed for the camera. A real insight and appreciation that on-board is one of the few times the President can relax.

Summary: Not so good! 2006-02-27
Comment: I tought that this movie was going to tell you the real secrets of Air Force One, but it only talks about the story of the airplane since Nixon, and then it just tells you that it is cassified everything about it, so not so many details. I didn't like it.

Summary: This is must see for everyone 2005-03-26
Comment: This is a great movie about the U.S president's official plane Air Force One or rightly called White House on wings. Covers the history of Air Force One as to how the need for an air travel was considered a must after the second world war as the head of states of the world usually avoided Air travel before world war 2. Shows the planes in complete details alongwith the interviews of some of the former Presidents of U.S and some of the Crew members of this amazing plane. Also covers some of the sad moments of history of mankind like the transport of Dead Body of the former president of U.S John Cannedy who was shot dead in 1963 and was carried back by Air force one and the next president took oath in the plane itself. Quite a sentimental and at the same time dutiful moment captured on film.
The movie tells about the routine of the flights and the jobs of the crew members in details and what weapons and accessories are carried alongwith the plane. All in all it's a must see for everyone who lives in this world and is in touch with the current events of the globe. Must make you feel envy about the fate of U.S presidents for possesing such an out of the world Air Plane.
