RTZ Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 hey I caught a recent special on the History Channel . It was about this incredible aircraft that the President uses. it was very impressive it showed everything how they even send undercover people out to shop for food at the local markets so to make sure the food has not been tampered with . and how they are planing for the flights so far out in advance even the landings at other countries airports the ground people of Airforce one walk off exactly where the wheels go once its parked to the inch. simply astonishing.

Eldmannen Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Pretty cool. I think they gonna equip it with some laser too that can shoot down missiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTZ Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 You are correct it does have those laser type defenses but they would not go into detail on any defenses the plane has.or how it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Not surprisingly they wont go into details about the security system of Air Force One, but that type of defense are planned for consumer airlines too. It is to prevent missiles from shoulder-carried RPG near airports. Probably such a scenario has never happened, but the defense contractors are cashing in on fear. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_One Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
