About This Item
This brand new diecast airplane model features the Boeing VC-25 Aircraft in white and blue with "United States Air Force One" markings, complete with a 7.25-inch long runway section for display. The model comes in its original unopened blister pack with a detailed exterior, made primarily of diecast metal with some plastic parts. It measures approximately 4.25 inches in length with a wingspan of 4.5 inches and does not include any openings. The flexible rubber runway section can be used together with other Runway24 sets to create a custom airport display. The VC-25, a modified Boeing 747-200B, is most commonly associated with the call sign AIR FORCE ONE when carrying the President of the United States, symbolizing presidential authority and the nation’s global reach. Equipped with advanced communication systems, defensive countermeasures, and secure accommodations for the President, the First Family, and key staff, the VC-25 has a real-world length of 231 feet and wingspan of 196 feet, with a range of over 7,800 miles and a cruising speed of approximately 630 mph. This aircraft has played a pivotal role in historical events and diplomatic missions, including the end of the Cold War, the Gulf War, and post-9/11 operations, functioning as a flying command center to ensure the President can perform duties securely while in transit. This diecast model faithfully replicates the VC-25’s distinguished blue and white livery and intricate details, offering collectors and aviation enthusiasts a tangible tribute to the historical and symbolic significance of AIR FORCE ONE.
