How presidents/government officials travel

in #planes7 years ago

Almost all governments got their own VIP plane. Some got small ones, others bigger ones, some got very old ones others very modern state of the art VIP aircraft. Some are registered on a civil aircraft registration, others to the military. Just to get you an idea how your government officials fly, here some pictures for you to check and understand how they spent your taxes :)

It has been sold in 2017 to an Australian airline (Aliance), but this was the Netherlands government plane for many many years. King Willem-Alexander not only used this plane for travelling, he also piloted it, to keep his ATPL license valid.

Niger, Boeing B737-200 SU-BAG:

A golden oldie this B737-200. Check out the gravel plate behind the nose landing gear. This allows the aircraft to land on remote locations where standard airport infrastructure cannot be found.

Probably the most known government aircraft is the US Air Force VC-25A. When the President of America flies the aircraft it becomes Air Force One which actually is its callsign for air traffic control. The US Air Force uses two exact copies of this aircraft one is registered 82-8000 and the other one is registered 92-9000.
