Sporting tail numbers 28000 and 29000, the VC-25As have been transporting heads of state for the US since 1987. Modifications were made to the aircraft to install a swing tail for easier loading, and the upper fuselage extended for more cargo capacity. Its service ceiling of 45,100 ft also made it an appealing choice for the mission.
