10 Shocking facts about Air Force One (With Pictures)

4. There Are Two Air Force Ones

Remember, the President of the United States isn’t some college student. He doesn’t work at a bar and doesn’t pray every day that his most reliable mode of transportation doesn’t break down on him. He’s so powerful that if one of his planes breaks down, he’ll just fire up the other one.

That’s right, the President has not one, but two Air Force Ones on hand at any point. They don’t call the second one Air Force Two – that’s reserved for the Vice President to cry silently when he’s in the air. They are both called Air Force One and they usually roll the second one out when the first one is in for repairs.
