Funny ATC as President Obama Departs Boston Logan on Air Force One 6-26-2012

Funny ATC just before President Obama departs Boston. Hey, what is a VIP American 573?! I guess we are all VIPs right? I apologize for the poor film quality - it wasn't my day for filming but decided to post it as I love this plane, it is just beautiful!!!

I love how smoothly the Air Force pilots lift Air Force One off the runway...

[jenf777]

Agreed!! They are amazing pilots! :)

Hey everyone, I love, love your comments, (good and bad) and it bums me out to ever see youtube (or me) remove a comment because it is so violent or rude. So, please, let's keep it cool. Thanks for all the feedback and for watching! Jen

i didnt really get what you just tried to explain and to be honest i dont care, yes principles of flight thats one of the 14 courses you have in your airline pilot license training but i assume your're not a pilot so dont try to tell me something about aviation. I think i wouldnt be a pilot if i was nuts. Sincerely.

i wouldn't want to take off roughly with the president of the United States of America inside.

I never implied that they flew supersonic?, I said the F16 pilot said they were Almost supersonic. I dont seem to have a clue about aerodynamics? Your telling me that with enough thrust airforce1 could not fly supersonic because the wings would stall? And you tell me to, "refer to my principles of flight course" What course? Did i miss that class, which ofcourse you are the teacher? Sweet Jesus you cannot say a thing o Utube without a closet genius telling you the facts of flight! Your nuts

[VWRacingXZ]

And even if an f-16 did say that which is possible it doesnt mean they flew supersonic, f-16s dont always fly supersonic and even normal subsonic speeds can be too fuel consuming or them since their endurance is vers limited compared to airforce one which can stay airborn for several days

[VWRacingXZ]

You seem not to have a clue about aerodynamics, ever heard of a high speed stall? These wings are not made to fly supersonic they will stall as soon as the aurflow reaches the speed of sound and shockwaves start to form and even the best computers cant do anything about that! the wing shale needs to be very different to sustain lift during speed of sound transition, refer to your principles of flight course!

[barmtrail]

The tail would not have to be modified and the wings would not have to be modified. The on board computers could make the corrections if need be in regards to AOA. During 9/11 when AIrforce 1 was being escorted, the F16 pilots asked Airforce 1 to please slow down because they were almost supersonic and the F16's were burning too much fuel. Am sure Airforce 1 could reach supersonic and just pass thru the barrior without an incident.

[ApesGoneWild4th]

I guarantee you they can NOT fly supersonic. The control surfaces would be rendered utterly useless. Wing and tail design had to be altered drastically to make supersonic flight possible. No such changes have been made to this plane.

I'm more important than he is as well.I've done far more good for this country and far less harm to it than he has

The seven four seven tail number 29000 and her identical sister aircraft underwent extensive modifications when transforming began to U.S. Presidential Aircraft over 20 years ago. They both can fly supersonic. Ofcourse i have no proof of this, but i have been an Aviation buff all my life. These are my favorite Aircraft period. The flight crews and Aircrews should be very proud of the work they do in order to keep these planes in the air. I look forward to the next generation of VIP Aircraft.
