Price to Fly
It costs roughly $200,000 to operate Air Force One for one hour. By comparison, a commercial plane is only $20,000 per hour. In President Trump’s first month in office, he spent $10 million, but presidential travel includes dozens of aircraft and countless people.
Birth of Homeland Security
President George W. Bush was on board Air Force One when he signed for the Department of Homeland Security to be created. It was over Germany, and he made the decision after the September 11 attack. It changed the way the country ran!
