Obama On Board

Our friends over at the National Geographic Channel are hopping on board the presidential news cycle – literally – with their in-depth program, premiering this weekend, all about Air Force One. National Geographic was there when President Obama boarded the plane for the first time, and the clip above shows him meeting the pilot and staff – and checking out the menu from the in-flight kitchen (he likes his burgers medium-well, with cheddar cheese and fries).

Visit the Channel site to get the inside scoop on the plane: I love the virtual tour of the jet’s layout, and the awesome paper airplane models you can download and build. Plus, who knew that you could follow Air Force One on Twitter?

Watch On Board Air Force One on the National Geographic Channel on January 25th and 28th, at 8pm EST.
