40 Air Force One Facts
VIP Suites

President Barack Obama visiting with those onboard Air Force One in the staff/VIP areas.
Members of Congress and other invitees of the president sit here, in Air Force One’s guest section. It’s the front-most seating section for security reasons: Secret Service allows passengers to move freely toward the rear while in flight, but guests are never allowed to walk forward past their own seat. Because it is so secured and secretive, VIP’s are few and far between. But what a ride that must be!
