In 1985 the pair of Boeing 707s used for presidential transport were becoming old and outdated so a request was issued for an aeroplane with at least 3 engines and a range of 6000 miles without refueling. The Boeing 747 and the Douglas DC-10 were already the two main contenders. Reagan ordered two 747's for immediate usage. The VC-25's were completed in 1986 and first flew in 1987 with the interior being based on the Southwest and being designed by Nancy Reagan. However, problems with the interior wiring prevented the VC-25s from being delivered until 1990, during the term of George H. W. Bush.

abstract	In 1985 the pair of Boeing 707s used for presidential transport were becoming old and outdated so a request was issued for an aeroplane with at least 3 engines and a range of 6000 miles without refueling. The Boeing 747 and the Douglas DC-10 were already the two main contenders. Reagan ordered two 747's for immediate usage. The VC-25's were completed in 1986 and first flew in 1987 with the interior being based on the Southwest and being designed by Nancy Reagan. However, problems with the interior wiring prevented the VC-25s from being delivered until 1990, during the term of George H. W. Bush. The Boeing VC-25 is the designation of a United States Air Force passenger transportation aircraft, a military version of the Boeing 747 airliner. The A-model (VC-25A) is the only variant of the VC-25. The VC-25 is most famous for its role as Air Force One, the call sign of any U.S. Air Force aircraft carrying the President of the United States. The two aircraft currently in U.S. service are highly modified versions of Boeing's 747-200B, with tail numbers 28000 and 29000. Although the Air Force One designation technically applies to the aircraft only while the President is aboard, the term is commonly applied to the VC-25s more generally. They often operate in conjunction with Marine One helicopters that ferry the President to airports in circumstances where a vehicle motorcade would be inappropriate.
