The president and his staff can reach just about anybody in the world while cruising tens of thousands of feet in the air. Air Force one is a military aircraft, designed to withstand an air attack.
The flares of the plane are capable of destroying missiles. The plane carries 53,611 gallons (about 203,000 litres) of fuel and weighs 833,000 pounds (about 377,000 kg) fully loaded for a long-range mission. It can fly half way around the world with a full tank.
Before a journalist is allowed to travel with the president in Air Force One, he must first undergo screening with the Air Force, TSA, Secret Service, Explosive Ordnance, bomb sniffers and Air Force One personal security detachment.
