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? Turns out it's more than just a luxurious mode of transport. From old tales to strange facts that still hold true today, here are some lesser-known things about this famous aircraft.

One of the Fastest Planes at 650mph

Many people may not know how fast a regular plane flies (just in case you were wondering), but Air Force One can fly even faster, at 650mph. After all, the President needs to be able to reach different parts of the country or the world with just a few hours' notice. tr
