A 747 story: The history of the jumbo jet – CNET

The most exclusive 747s in the sky have carried the President of the United States since 1987. Officially designated as the VC-25, the two 747-200s have everything the President needs to lead the country while in the air. 

Each plane has a private bedroom and office for POTUS, a communications room, a conference area, a large galley, a medical facility, and seating for staff and press. The plane’s wiring is heavy shielded against nuclear electromagnetic pulse, it carries electronic countermeasures and it can be refueled in the air. But no matter what a certain film tells you (“Get off my plane!”), there’s no escape pod. Officially, at least.
