00:00 The era of presidential aviation began in 1910 with Theodore Roosevelt's flight on a Wright Brothers flyer, and now the President of the United States has Air Force One.

02:11 The first U.S. president to fly in an airplane was Peter Roosevelt, but it would be another 33 years before a sitting president would fly, and the first designated presidential aircraft was a Douglas Dolphin amphibious aircraft purchased in 1933 but never used by the president until Franklin Roosevelt flew on the Dixie Clipper in 1943.

04:06 The first designated presidential aircraft, the Douglas Dolphin, was rejected for presidential use due to safety concerns, but the Douglas C-54 Skymaster, named the Sacred Cow, was approved and used by President Roosevelt for the Yalta Conference in 1945, and later used by President Truman to sign the bill creating the U.S. Air Force in 1947. The call sign "Air Force One" was informally adopted in 1953 after a confusion with similar call signs in the sky, and became official in 1962.

06:07 President Eisenhower had four different propeller aircraft dedicated for presidential use, but it was during President Kennedy's administration that the first jet-powered presidential aircraft, SAM 26000, was delivered in 1962 and used by every President from Kennedy to Clinton.

08:16 The current presidential planes, the Boeing VC-25s with the codes SAM 28000 and SAM 29000, have capabilities that previous presidential aircraft lacked, including the ability to refuel in flight, run the entire military from the air, and do live broadcasts to the nation, making them the most sophisticated aircraft in the world from a communications perspective.

10:19 The current presidential planes are over 30 years old and a replacement is being sought, with the current plan being to use a Boeing 747-8 at an estimated cost of $4 billion, and there are even plans for a supersonic Air Force One.

12:19 Marine One is the call sign for any aircraft operated by the Marine Corps which carries the president, and it's almost always a helicopter, primarily used to transport the president from the White House to Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews.
