Air Force One: New Boeing 747-8s

Today marks the 33rd anniversary of the first Air Force One Boeing 747 delivery on January 26th, 1990. Since that date, two 747-200B models, classified by the Air Force as the VC-25A, are still in use today. However, these aircraft are growing old and antiquated, placing in the top 20 oldest active 747s. Boeing is currently working on retrofitting two undelivered 747-8 aircraft to replace the older variants. Let's take a look at the latest with the new Air Force One airplanes.
