Communication is Key

Air Force One, telephones
Three of more than 80 telephone lines inside of Air Force One.
The White House

There are 85 phone lines and 19 televisions on each of the two identical planes, allowing the White House to stay in touch with events on the ground. How in the world could any plane need or find the use for 85 telephones? We’re not positive, but odds are that there are a few of them that aren’t normal phones. Perhaps direct lines to other countries leaders? Direct lines to the Pentagon and other governmental agencies? We may never know the extent of these types of Air Force One facts.
