On Board Air Force One

The president is now on board. We are Air Force One.

A marvel of top-secret technology and security, Air Force One has flown U.S. presidents more than 7 million miles around the world.  Now, PARTISAN PICTURES takes viewers where most can only dream of going: ON BOARD AIR FORCE ONE for a special mission to the middle east.

Get an exclusive look at what goes into a presidential trip through this volatile region, with exclusive access to everything from the president’s suite and kitchen galley to Secret Service travel preparation and flight strategy. And for the very first time, the president’s pilot, Col. Mark Tillman, tells the story of what happened aboard the “flying White House” on September 11th, 2001.

"One of the perks of being the most powerful man in the free world is having a cool ride, and President Obama has it in Air Force One. The plane that's commonly referred to as the flying White House gets a once-over in National Geographic Channel's insightful special that details who and what it takes to make sure our government remains 100% efficient, even at 35,000 feet."
