Boeing VC-25A 'Air Force One' (Boeing 747-200)

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.

Parked at Moscow waiting for the President. Notice the lack of a bulge on the nose just below the cockpit where the real aircraft would have a mid-air refuelling point.

Lockheed C-5 Galaxy

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-141 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.
