A Standard Motorcade
It’s not just a cinematic spectacle; the motorcade is a tangible reality. A motorcade is a procession or convoy of vehicles meticulously arranged for the president’s transportation. Following the president’s journey aboard Air Force One, the disembarkation marks the transition to an armored limousine, a vital component of the motorcade. But how does the president’s secure vehicle await him upon arrival? The remarkable aspect is that the C-141 Starlifter, a cargo plane, precedes Air Force One in its travels. This aircraft carries the president’s formidable armored vehicle, often called “The Beast.” Consequently, even when the U.S. President embarks on international trips, the motorcade remains primed and equipped to ensure secure transportation within foreign borders.
