They do actually use a 737 and a 757 sometimes for shorter distances.

Nice pics, first one looks great.
Ya, he does use much smaller ones, on his visit to here (phoenix intl) there was something weird about our runways, so he took the small one. But on his second visit, he used the 747, strange...

The photograph looks like a 737-700 (too long for a 600). The 800 and 900 series are both longer and have 2 emergency exits at the wings, (see the screenshots) while the 700 has just one.

....And Bear in mind that AirForceOne is the callsign for the President himself, not any plane (as evident in the comments by the pics...). As far as I know, they use the 747 as much as possible unless the runways don't permit.

Beautiful shots and Beautiful Airplane!! Shocked
