Air Force One is the famous plane that is used by the President to make sure he or she is able to get from place to place securely. Not only that, but the President needs access to communications with a number of different agencies all at the same time. Those who have been on Air Force One before say that it is essentially the equivalent of the resources that are available at the White House, but in the air.

The cost to create Air Force One and keep it specifically designed for what it is used for comes in at around $325 million. This is important to recognize because it means that the taxpayers are footing the bill for this expense, and we all need to know how much is going into this.

There are amazing security features on Air Force One that help keep the plane secure in the event that an enemy ever tries to attack it. There are even infrared missile detection systems on board in case an enemy might try to shoot a missile at the plane to take it down. It is one of the most expensive and most secure planes on the planet.
