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. The end result was four 747s with three times the cargo volume of a 747-400F.
