I want a Meljet Air Force One for FS2004 and all i can find is a Meljet Air Force One for FS2002. I like the Meljet Air Force One for FS2002, it has nice features.


Could some one build one that is from Meljet

I believe I have one, but I am not sure...

If you find a meljet 747, then it will be a -400 instead of a -200 like to real one. i dont think he has made any other models ....

Since the realworld AF1 is actually a 200 I wonder if there is a AF1 paint for the RFP 747-200? Even more, I wonder if AF1 has been upgraded with a proper FMS system or if it still navigates on an INS system.  I should surely hope its been updated because if not by next year it will be limited to certain flight levels if it can't meet the reduced vertical separation minimums. But then again, it is Airforce 1.  Who is going to tell the leader of the freeworld where and how high to fly??? lol.

air traffic control will, LOL air saftey takes priority over even the president. AF1 has the cockpit of a 747-400 according to most reports. so FMS is likely

Well, due to the fact that when ever AF1 is in any area a TFR is set up a given radius around the plane I don't think controllers have to concern as much about the VC-25 as they do about other aircraft in their sector.  I would say their biggest challenge is keeping other planes the required separation from AF1. 
Incidently, did you all know that the VC-25 cruises at .90 making it the fastest 747 of the 747 fleet?  if .90 is cruise I would guess that MMO would be like .94-.96 limited only due to the fact that a 747 airframe isn't shaped for transonic.  It has flares, chaff, and ECM. Lord knows, it may even have AMRAMS hidden in it's belly somewhere, lol.

it is fully defensive as you stated with chaff flares and other ecm's. however there are from the things i have read, no missiles on board. but i guess without top secret clearance we shall never know.

"Air Force One" is actually the designation given to ANY plane that the President happens to be travelling in  Wink
