Well, yes, it is an airplane, smartass! But do you have a more specific guess? No? OK, fine, I'll tell you. It's JFK's Air Force One! And surprisingly tiny, I might say. Remember in the movie Air Force One where it seemed like there were at least three stories to the plane each with about a city block worth of hallways, rooms, secret compartments, and escape hatches? I don't really know anything about the current Air Force One (and I understand there are more than one -- any plane, or I think even helicopter, that the President rides is coded Air Force One) but JFK's was a pretty barebones affair. One corridor about the length of a city bus with a pair of seats on each side. Couple special areas for communications, etc. This is over at the Pima Air and Space Museum that we visited last month in Tucson.
