Mission 41: A Special Assignment
Asserting that Air Force One lacks sentiment would be unkind and inaccurate. As evidenced by the poignant journey made in 2018 following the passing of former President George H.W. Bush, Air Force One displayed a touch of heart. It’s worth noting that only the aircraft transporting the current president holds the title “Air Force One.” Interestingly, Trump had never flown on the plane. A unique operation, known as “Special Mission 41,” was organized to convey the late President Bush’s remains to the memorial service in Washington and then back to Houston for his final resting place. Additionally, a distinctive aspect of “Special Mission 41” was the reconfiguration of the aircraft to serve as a memorial for the late president, Bush.
