The term Air Force One is used by the United States army only when the President of the country is on board. The plane that carries the Vice President of USA is called Air Force Two. Throughout the years, Air Force One has largely become a prominent sign or symbol of the powers of the President. The plane is so famous that when the British Prime Minster, Tony Blair expressed his desire to get a plane like the Air Force One, people said that it would be Blair Force One.

The Air Force One can be easily said as the second home and office of the President. Jet travel of the President first started with John F. Kennedy who ordered a SAM 26,000 long range Boeing 707. Kennedy found the new aircraft very regal and hence he ordered a change in design from the American designer Raymond Loewy. The famous designer referred the National Archives of the US Declaration of Independence and copied the way the country name was written in it.

The seal of the President was designed on both sides of the nose of Air Force One. The sides read in bold letters, The United States of America and the tail consisted of the American Flag designed on it. Loewys work was liked by the President and everyone else and soon the Air Force One became an international symbol. The model, SAM 26000 was used from the years 1962 to 1998 and it was used by Presidents from Kennedy to Clinton. SAM 2700 was decommissioned by President George Bush and the pieces from the aircraft were assembled in Simi Valley where the exhibits are still present. Ronald Reagan has ordered the transition from Boeing 707 to Boeing 747.

The present Air Force One is equipped with the latest computer communications and the President can get in touch with anyone, no matter in which part of the world he or she is. The plane enables the President to perform his duties (just like he is doing them at his office) while is flying. The Air Force One is accompanied by fighter planes only when the need be.

It would be interesting to end this report with a funny real life incident that happened on Air Force One. Once President George Bush and his wife, Laura Bush were traveling on the plane with Dick Cheney and Jenna Bush. The President says to Dick that if he throws a $10,000 bill from the window, he could make one person happy. Dick says that if he threw 10 $1,000 bills from the window he could make 10 people happy. Laura contributes to the conversation by saying that if she threw 100 $100 bills from the window, her act will make 100 people happy. Jenna rolls her eyes and says that if she threw all of them down from the window it would make the whole United States happy.

Aviation Items That You Need Before Taking Flight

By Jay Gaulard

Every aviator needs certain items. Without them, flight can either lack certain safety aspects or it can be rather inconvenient. Neither one of those things are anything that the aviator wants to deal with. So if you’re a beginner or you are a seasoned aviator, it is good to know what is available to you.

There are so many items coming onto the market every single day that can make your life easier, so it is good to know what those things are and to take advantage of those things.

Equipment needs

Chances are you have various equipment needs as an aviator. There are certain tools and so many other items that you need. For example, you need certain tools to maintain your airplane. Those tools may include:

- A left curve aviation snip or a right curve aviation snip. This is a tool that will help you in cutting aluminum and other materials that you may need to cut. This is an activity that is common in certain maintenance tasks.

- A flashlight - This is something that is needed whenever you’re traveling. You even need to have a flashlight in your car. Basically, you need a flashlight in your plane because you may have to look around in dark places. If an emergency occurs, you want to make sure you’re prepared. This isn’t saying that an emergency is imminent, but it is good to be prepared.

- A power punch - This is for when you need to punch holes in sheet metal and various other materials. You never know when you must do some sort of maintenance that may require you to do this.

These are just three examples of the tools that you may need. You also need to keep other things on-hand such as pliers, sealant to seal hoses and other gaps or holes that you may find, sprays to get rid of corrosion, and so much more. You can never be too safe when you’re going into the air. You have to make sure that you have the tools and the equipment needed to maintain your plane. That way you can feel secure when you’re in the air.

Apparel

Aviation apparel is also necessary. You may need a parka to help you stay warm when you’re working on your plane. You may wish to have flight gloves, waterproof boots, or overalls. Then again, you may want a shirt that says, “I’m a pilot” or something else that denotes this achievement such as a lapel pin.

If you want to, you can dress up the entire family. There is aviation apparel for the kids as well. The list goes on and on. It depends on what you find to be important to you, but remember that there are some apparel items such as gloves, hats, and jackets that are needed. You never know when an emergency is going to come about.

Miscellaneous items

There are also a number of miscellaneous items that you may find to be quite beneficial. First of all, you can purchase aviation books and DVDs that will help you in your flying endeavors. It is always good to learn as much as possible about flying, the industry, and even its history. The more you know, the better off you are. You can even look into getting magazines that keep you updated on the latest happenings within the aviation industry.

Knowledge is the key when it comes to aviation. It is a fun hobby to get into. It is literally a way for you to get away from it all and be on top of the world.

However, safety comes first. You have to make sure you have all of your basic emergency supplies such as water, clothing, blankets, flares, and a first aid kit. Although it is very unlikely for an emergency situation to come about, the fact is that they do. You always have to be prepared.

So if you don’t have all of the items that you need, it is a good idea to pay a visit to the Internet and deal with a website that puts everything you need into one place. This makes making sure that you have everything that you need a lot easier. You don’t have to run around all over the place trying to find the right items for you. This is simply a waste of energy. Why waste energy if you don’t have to?

Buying the right items

So make yourself a checklist. On this checklist, you need to list those items that you already have, and then list the ones that you don’t have. This is so you don’t waste your money buying something that you already have. Unless you can really benefit from having two of something, you can really save yourself a pretty penny by taking an inventory before you order anything.

From there, you’re going to check off your items as you purchase them. Now make sure this list includes tools, other equipment, first aid, an emergency kit, any informational materials you need, and any apparel items that you wish to purchase. You should make sure you have everything you need before you take flight. If you don’t have everything you need, then you’re taking a risk.

It is a known fact that you never know what is going to occur when you go up into the air. The same is true for when we get into our cars to go down the street.

That is why we are told to have supplies in our vehicles. You just never know. So if you don’t have everything you need, make that checklist and get it taken care of. Use the Internet because you’re going to be able to save money and you’re going to have your items delivered to your doorstep. Since there seems to be a shortage of physical aviation stores, there is now no excuse as to why you shouldn’t have all of the supplies that you need to make your flight a success.
