This article is about the film Air Force One. For the USAF aircraft see Boeing VC-25.
Movie (1997)
Starring:
Harrison Ford (President James Marshall)
Gary Oldman (Ivan Korshunov)
Glenn Close (Vice President Kathryn Bennett)
Wendy Crewson (Grace Marshall)
Lisel Matthews (Alice Marshall)
Paul Guilfoyle (Chief of Staff Lloyd Shepherd)
When the President's plane is hijacked over Europe there is little Washington can do to help. They must rely on the people on the plane to fight back as well as being careful of who to trust.
Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk
The backbone of the US Army helicopter force is seen picking up the troops at the beginning and transporting the VP to The White House.
Boeing 747-146 (portraying VC-25A 'Air Force One')
The VC-25A is seen throughout the movie with the main action scenes being based around it. This is obviously not one of the actual ones but a very good representation.
Registration N703CK, c/n 19727/54 built in 1970. Rented from American International Airways, precursor to Kalitta Air. Previously flew for Japan Air Lines as JA8103.
Lockheed C-5 Galaxy

These fighters are scrambled from Ramstein, Germany to escort Air Force One after the 'Code Red' is declared.
Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker
Based on the prototype Boeing 367-80, prototype to the Boeing 707, these tankers can be seen on the ramp at Ramstein during the aborted landing.
Lockheed C-141B Starlifter
This aircraft narrowly avoids a collision with Air Force One at Ramstein.
Bell UH-1 Iroquois
UH-1D Sent from Ramstein to rescue the President from the escape pod. Although it is not impossible for a UH-1D to have been used in this capacity, at the time of filming a UH-1H or UH-1N would be more likely used by USAF rescue teams.
McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender
'Extender 1-0' is sent to refuel Air Force One in mid air.
Mil Mi-24P "Hind-F"
Sent from the Kazakhstan Armed Forces to pick up General Radek from prison.
