  • Stansted because easier for security and to block off airport.

    This is where hijacked flights arrive. Specially trained.

  • thomas cook cant afford two floored planes 

  • THOMAS COOK HAVE AN AMERICAN FLAG ON IT?COPS STANDING BY FOR A TC 747 .NO WAY.DUDE BEFORE YOU OPEN MOUTH AND CHECK FACTS.

  • That looks vulnerable. The guy holding the camera could well have held a gun or ground to air missile!!

    But having said that, how else can the plane land? Coming in low is just something you have to do, when you land.

    (10 points for anyone that knows wht the hell I'm on about!)

  • @250Trojan He could of had a SAM? Are you kidding me? watch from 0:45 to 0:51, and you'd see 3 uniformed police. I Highly doubt you could smuggle a SAM launcher, and that plane is obviously going to have countermeasures such as IR Flares as a basic protection at LEAST :/

  • What a total waste of money. At least its not my taxes.

  • why stansted why not heathrow

  • @MegaTitans101 Faster route into Central London and not as busy an airport. When Bush landed at Heathrow he screwed the place up for hours! Stansted is much easier to secure as well.

  • Im proud to be an American!!!!

  • airforce one and 747 suck they are both gay 

  • That's not just an airplane that landed...It was a country.

  • @ericatomic934 No. What landed was a big waste of money. And I think there are two of them!!!

  • @chanctonbury63

     Four

  • @kessass83 Glad its not my tax money.

  • @chanctonbury63 Me too. Used to live near Andrew Air Force base in Maryland, close to Washington DC, where all these are parked. Moved back to my country.

  • @kessass83 Because of them

  • How did you find out where Air Force One was landing? Since Obama is visiting again at the end of the month I'd love to get my own shots of the most famous aircraft on the planet!!

  • @anticlimax1471 Make sure you get the right one, there's actually two. Both aircraft go where the other goes so that if there is a problem with the first, there is a back up. The back up would usually land first but because they are identical there is no way to tell.

  • @anticlimax1471 Oh and to answer your question he is landing again at Stansted on Tuesday

  • @cheesemaster1000 i know they probably keep it all hush hush, but is there anyway of finding approx what time its due to land that you know of? Love to capture this!

  • @NowWantOne I don't know when it's due to land, my advice is keep checking google news. It may be quite short notice before we know, usually the news will report that Air Force One has taken off from Andrews AFB and you have to make your own judgment how long it will be from then until it lands.

  • Hey, I love it this is a true piece of history!!!!

  • i watched this

  • obama is a joke

  • DARTH VADER HAS ARRIVED

  • Fake!

  • @JakeOnSports how?

  • Interesting that the Brits anxiously await the arrival of a black US President, yet they don't want black people in their country! Hmmm....what a paradox! I guess you have to be black AND powerful for the Brits to welcome you!

  • @samuelflower

    Wow, that's incredible bullshit. I'm British and I have no problem at all with black people, so I'd appreciate it if you stopped generalizing an entire nation.

  • @CynicalVision No it's not bullshit! I lived in England and you people don't like blacks!

  • @samuelflower

    Are you that stupid? I've already told you that I'm British and I have nothing against Black people.

  • @samuelflower you are a retard, a lot of the english population are scumbag fascists that support the BNP and want the blacks and asians gone, the majority dont want that though hence the reason the BNP NEVER get in power and they never will, the people you knew when you lived here were clearly scum that england doenst want or need

  • @samuelflower Out of the 400 or so constituencies (you probably don't understand big words so for you lets just say regions) of the UK, the BNP were not elected into any. The backwards view you refer to is complete lunacy. Our nation is regarded as far more tolerant than yours. How often do you see a Muslim, a Hindu, a Jew and another ethnic minority walking down the same street in America? Cause that's fairly common here. Maybe you just don't understand British humour and irony

  • @willwoodhouse Couldn't agree more! Clearly, @samuelflower is a complete douche who needs to re-attempt 'education' ha!

  • love him of hate him there is the most powerful man in the world.

  • So what? I don't know what's the BIG DEAL?

  • Too bad the Brits sent him back.

  • @BCboy65 Post of the freaking year.

  • Boeing 747s are sexy

  • That airplane got Flares anti missils and radar when an enemy locks you and then appears : Intercepted or Missile behind u!

  • Big deal he does nothing for American but blame the last guy in the office !!!

  • @METH3454 Maybe cause the last guy FUCKED AMERICA UP! It would take Jesus Christ to fix this in half a term.

  • @CoChatt some mastails but guess what oboma is going to fuck it up and make it 10x wrong

  • During Flight AirForce One is Escorted by 5 F-22 Raptors & 2 KC-135 Stratotanker Also an E-3 Sentry AWACS. Very Good Security!.

  • Who are the assistants??. The militairy planes?.

  • i wanna drive those ^^

  • WOW AirForce 1 is a Great Airplane!

  • That's not Air Force One, That's a Thomas Cook jet coming back from Majorca, full of council estate chavs

  • @2491cc Hahaaa :)

  • @2491cc Considering there's armed police and police dogs surrounding the outside fence and inside fence, and the airports basically empty?

  • @ICFDanICF It was a joke, you tool.

  • @2491cc hahahhaha i fucking hate chavs

  • @2491cc

    All in shell suits wiv bling cos dey is gonna get home for da re runs ov Jeremy Kyle on Sky plus innit youth!

    Switchin top dogz off of da estate in Nottingham wen der Ma is at Bingo with Auntie Britney and Uncle Jamall.

  • @2491cc you are obviously retarted if you think thats not AFO

  • @canyman1996 @canyman1996 You are obviously retarded if you can't understand a simple shit joke. Moron.

  • how do you know when it will land?

  • @danielkang1234 teletext :P or internet

  • Ladies and Gentleman, DA President has arrived!

  • Long Live The Queen and God Bless the United States! Great vid!

  • hey! didn't i see that plane in 2012? oh yeah! it was the one that got destroyed in the wave!! :D

  • if you had a scanner radio you could have heard the radio comms, recomend the uniden bearcat 3500xlt. great vid tho

  • lol, even the coppers are too busy staring :D

  • I liked the movie with Harrison Ford in it. That rocked. The real Air Force One isn't nearly so exciting.

  • @Barry3443 haha, it was actully a pretty stupid movie (I like it tough) AFO's doors can actually support some explosives like the one that they use in the film to kill the pilots. They do checks for weapons inside the airplane before flights, the SS got it all covered.

  • The US Air Force has a presence in the UK.

    They have a Squadron of F-15 Strike Eagles based out of Lakenheath AFB.

    If the need ever arose, the US air force would provide escort for Air Force 1.

  • ahh, pity i would have expected to see Jet fighter escorting Air force One, especially RAF Eurofighter's along with a couple of USAF F-22's, would be a brilliant video! Good video! but why in Stansted especially since it is a very ugly airport, surely Heath row would have been a better choice, Terminal 5, the President would have been more impressed!

  • @HMSDaring1 yeah. security logistics perhaps? they probably didn't want to disrupt busy heathrow

  • Had there been a need for fighter escorts in/around london/stansted RAF Eurofighters would have called in

  • @samraby No, the US airforce would have called there own jets it. From the many airbases around Europe including the one in the North of england.

  • @X46RAPTOR Actually, it wouldn't be necessary to call American jets over British airspace in the first place, but the RAF might provide an escort. Such escorts are mostly ceremonial or honorary, if anything. In the extremely unlikely event that fighter jets would actually be needed for some reason (over British airspace??), the British forces would absolutely handle it without the immediate of the USAF. Again, fighter escorts aren't actually expected to see action anyway.

  • @TheOnlineCommunity No, The United States Secret Service would not take the responsibility in allowing a foreign nations fighter jets to escort Air Force One. Air Force One, never has an never will be escorted by foreign jets. In fact, rarely is it escorted by USAF jets, 9/11 being an exception when it was escorted out over the gulf of Mexico due to the impending security concerns.

  • @X46RAPTOR Hm, that comment seems to be quite the departure from your previous position of: "No, the US airforce would have called there own jets it. From the many airbases around Europe including the one in the North of england"

  • @TheOnlineCommunity Haha, well logically both the US and UK are very good allies and both NATO members. So if jets were to be called in they would as I said have to be American and there happens to be a base if I am not mistake in the North Of England?? I live in England but have never actually got a chance to visit it.

  • @X46RAPTOR Yeah, I was just saying that if fighter jets HAD to be called in for some reason, the RAF would be the first to respond, since, like you said, we're very close allies. In reality, it doesn't matter because it wouldn't happen. I mean, I don't expect to see Russian planes coming in to shoot Air Force One down over England anytime soon, so it's unlikely that the theory would ever be put to the test. In fact, you're right, it rarely receives an escort of any kind. :P

  • where are the fighter jet escorts?

  • @MarioAldanaJumuzna unless there is an imminent threat, they dont escort air force one. i believe the last time they had to escort air force one for security concerns was on sept 11

  • @BreakingNewYorkCity really? but I was in Guatemala in 2007 during a president Bush visit and right before arrival there were F-16s doing fly-overs above the city..Idk what the danger was

  • @MarioAldanaJumuzna Airforce one has various security missile systems anyway. We don't really know what because everything is disclosed. But lets just say if you go outside and fire an RPG at it.. you will not shoot it down.

  • @BreakingNewYorkCity really? but I was in Guatemala in 2007 during a president Bush visit and right before arrival there were F-16s doing fly-overs above the city..Idk what the danger was

  • @BreakingNewYorkCity really? but I was in Guatemala in 2007 during a president Bush visit and right before arrival there were F-16s doing fly-overs above the city..Idk what the danger was

  • @MarioAldanaJumuzna: the fighter jet escorts usually only accompany Air Force One under certain circumstances, such as in locations that face security threats.

  • quik some one let off a fire work

  • i highley respect these pilots one day i will be there in the cockpit

  • hey after that day it's my birthday really no joke but 4 hours waiting cool vid ^^

  • notable differences between 200 and 400 are winglets (none on the 200) and a shorter fuselage on the 200..

    also, it may look like a 200, but thats about it in regards to it's similarity.. the documentary on the thing on the discovery channel was great.. apparently it flies nothing like a 200 and yes it has all sorts of countermeasures including flares and much more they couldnt discuss..

    amazing plane but soon to be replaced with a more modern airframe

  • took er awhile to get that nose down on the runway

  • Can't have the president spilling his coffee now can we? Smoothest landings in the world I'd expect from that flight crew.

  • AGREEDED :lol

  • i think there all X USAF

  • @PilotInCommand100 Not ex, they are all current pilots for the United States Air Force. Air Force 1 is an air force airplane maintainged, staffed and opperated by air force personnel.

  • airforce one has a sister plane that looks just like it it is used for situations so people cant tell what plane is airforce one

  • i whaced a video on air forse 1 and THAT BIG 747 HAS CONTERMEASURES!

    if u dont beleive me i will show u. its a discovery channel video

  • very cool.. i wanna ride..

  • how can ya tell the diffreance from a 747-400 and a 200 is it abit shorter?

  • The big difference is the 747-400 has winglets, which the 200 does not have.

  • AND, the buckle on the top isn't as big as the -400

  • no its easy to tell wich one is 400 or 200 if you look carefully on the wings you can see a thing that pops up on the end of the wings on a 747-400 the wing will look like this

    -------------/

    and on a 747-200

    --------------

    See the diffrence? there's a like a 40 degree pop up thing on the 400,. stupid explantion i know man, but thats how you can tell :)

  • it is called a winglet

  • that was smart with the whole lines thingy, thanks.

  • nice airplane i like the airplane air force 1

  • its a 747-200

  • awesome nice ! i love this plane !

  • lol why did this give me goosbumps?

  • Good question.

  • @Aerodynamics123 i kind of got a chill out of that too man.

  • @Aerodynamics123 means you're gay..

  • @ih3artpsp sure pal.

  • @Aerodynamics123 cuz your wierd?

  • @TheCessna154Pilot funny guy?

  • @Aerodynamics123 no i just find it very wierd for someone to get goosebumps fro a video on the internet...if you were there maybe i could see...not trying to be mean or anything honestly.

  • @TheCessna154Pilot I also find it wierd now, but when I first watched it last year it was different. 9 people agree soo yeah..

  • @Aerodynamics123 9 equally wierd people :P

  • @TheCessna154Pilot , the people who get goosebumps are probably Obama worshipers.

  • @chrisman737 or probably persons who are in awesome of the 

  • @Aerodynamics123 perhaps youve never seen a big plane land before ? 

  • nice video.brings back memories.i waited 8 hours for it to land,worth it though.

  • Love this plane.

  • Comment removed

  • I love Air Force One and cannot wait to take off again with this magnificant piece of work. So where are we off to next? France. I love this plane and thank you thank you thank you for this European tour President Obama and the media. I love it! The Brits and Gordon Brown did an excellent job with the G20 summit may the Holy God of Israel the Father of the Messiah Jesus Christ bless that beautiful nation and the Queen of England.

  • ...riiiight

    Crazy much?

  • its diplomat frequency which means its encoded in a military frequency and if you did happen to crack it i would say that youd end up in guamtomino bay lol

  • that is massive !

  • all this credit crunch fiasco, you would think he'd be flying easyjet!

  • Obama want's to lock you all up.

  • Whe have air force one too and it's bigger.

  • why was this a big deal?

  • Europeans are big on following socialist leaders. It gives them hope that the rest of the world might become like them.

  • I thought this is gonna be one of those UFO videos.

  • Because he is from either Kenya, or Indonesia.

    Obama is not American. He committed treason by entering the whitehouse.

  • ur dumb.

    What proof do you have that he was actually born in Kenya?

    you dont know shit

  • What about Stalin? He was born in Georgia! A good old southern boy became the leader of the USSR. Talk about treason!

  • Are you actually being serious, or are you taking the piss?

  • Taking the piss, just like the comment I replied to.

  • your retarded

    he was born in the USA which means he is american

  • If Obama is so cautious as to redo his Oath of Office and always carry around a teleprompter, why hasn't he shown his birth certificate? I'm not talking about the recently printed "Cert of Live Birth"...can anyone explain this?

  • I knew he was the messiah! Here is the video of him flying in midair!

  • He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

  • Keep Obama in the UK. We don't want him.

    If you the UK don't want him then they can deport him back to Kenya.

  • that landing was so good the lord Obama himself must of been the pilot.

  • bahahaha

  • UK: do us a favour and keep that socialist

  • been on SAM 26000... VEry cool. Its over at the Air Force Musium

  • What a waste of jet fuel.

  • You cant stand a "nigga" in the "BlackHouse" can you. Guess what cracker, GET OVER IT!! He has all free access to a fat car, fat plane and fat crib!! God I wont even try and figure out how much fuel Bush used going back and forth to Crawford. I will give him credit though. When he took the "WHOLE" month of Aug off for vacation(the longest of any President in history), he saved fuel but wasted taxpayer money for drawing his paycheck while sitting on his ass.

  • hahahahahahahahah Dude your so fucking funny

  • Stop your racism--Bush or Obama are Bilderberger pimps--stop using the race card Racist. Still is a waste of Jet fuel. Thank you.

  • Obama has been at the Whitehouse maybe a week total since becoming "president"

  • Wow pretty impressive.

  • great as long as some crazy muzlim does not try to shoot it down!

  • They're murderous, not crazy.

  • Why would a muslim shoot down one of their own? Barry is a Muslim, you know. He just doesn't admit to it.

  • Graceful landing. "The One" must have been driving.

  • What a smooth landing.

  • Halleluja, the messiah finally arrived !!!

  • i thaught that there were chase planes that go with af1

  • they don't land with it. af1 alone causes way too much trouble to normal flights at airports, imagine if a whole bunch of military aircraft decided to land there as well unnecessarily.

  • thanks for posting a reply

  • Fantastic video, must be a logistical nightmare but the secret service boys can pull it off.

  • solid pilots..very smooth

  • Thanks for the great video. I've been watching our presidents for 55 years and none has made me more proud to be American. Or human, for that matter.

  • Yu'all take care of the Obamas while they're are and send them home safe.

  • Wow, just look at the size of that thing !! Great video and well worth the wait - thanks for sticking it out and getting this on film for us all to watch (in amazement!!).

  • your bloody right!, that planes huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!! and how many people where on it?prob about 20!!lol not to worry at least he landed safely hey :)

  • It's a Boeing 747 - They're all huge, not just this one.

  • Nice video worth waiting for eh!

    Does anyone know how the 2 helicopters Marine 1 (marine 2?) got the Stansted from the USA?

  • They are flown-in ahead inside a USAF C-5 cargo carrier plane. Crews and all. Though the US have Air Force and military bases in Europe, only the 'White Top' helicopters and the Marines from HMX-1 in Quantico, Virginia can service the President.

    His ground transport, limos and Secret Service vehicles are also flown-in the same way.

  • Also on your question Marine 2 - the other helicopter is not Marine Two as that is the designated radio call for the Vice-

    President. The other accompanying helicopter is a decoy and that is just that. There are like 4-5 models of the White Tops. Whatever model they will use as Marine One, another or two identical helicopter will accompany the President wherever he goes.

  • Cheers, do you know if Air Force one uses the civil radio frequency when flyin g back home or will it still to military only frequnecies? I`m aware he is off to Europe or Turkey but will keep a listen out next time its over here...

  • Its most likely a scrambled mil frequency and I very much doubt ul be able to find it and if you do i imagine police will be on to you as its a big no no

  • pezzza16 it is not illegal to listen in on "scrambled military" Frequencies. Or as we call it Watergating. One there is no law that states you can't and two it is impossible to track/enforce. If you have the equipment and knowhow it is very easy to do. Many Black op training missions fly over at weird hours of the night where I live and while they are typically silent I have listened in. They have switched over to double shielded cat 6 now so it takes more time finding them.

  • You are correct, at some points. You can enforce and track peoples location through there radio signal. I have seen it happen, and you know the national digital conversion, this is because the FCC wanted to keep all non-digital frequenices to milirary, fire and rescue services, and finally law enforcement. Also, the FCC has switched from 500hz to 900hz so your scanner will have to be updated. You are correct about black ops and other militant activities, I have heard them upon switching to 900hz
