Since 1943, when Franklin Roosevelt first took to the
skies in office, Air Force One has been a symbol of
the U.S. Presidency, a flying command center, where
policy decisions—and history—are made
seven miles (11 kilometers) up.
Air Force One, a new Partisan Pictures
production for National Geographic Television, goes
behind the scenes as the White House prepares for a
three-day Presidential trip.
Witness the elaborate planning that goes into every
Presidential mission, get an insider’s view of the
President’s personal quarters, and share fond
memories from former leaders Carter, Bush, and
Clinton.
