Amazing Air Force One Facts That Only A Few Presidents Have Been Willing To Confess

Cuts The Line

When it comes to who has priority and who doesn’t, there isn’t much discussion when Air Force One is involved.  Air Force One gets priority over anything and anyone else flying—end of story.  Her pilots do not have to worry about how busy the airspace is, because it isn’t.  All airspace is cleared ahead of Air Force One in every flight she makes.  There is also the fact that all air traffic, no matter whom it may be, is halted and grounded until Air Force One has either taken off or landed.  For this very reason, and in order to not disrupt commercial airlines schedules, Air Force One typically lands at military air bases.
