The untold story of Air Force One
It's common knowledge that the President of the United States has their own private plane so they can fly anywhere. But how much do we actually know about the legendary Air Force One?

Floor Plan Based on a Boeing 747
Anyone familiar with airplanes knows that the Boeing 747 is famous for its design. It has three decks, each with its own purpose and design. The top deck is dedicated to communications-related equipment, the middle deck is for passenger space, and the bottom deck is for cargo and general storage.
