Description
Symbol of State Power: Boeing B707 (VC-137C) Air Force One
Own a piece of world history with this replica of the most famous aircraft ever to fly: Air Force One. Based on the Boeing 707-320B intercontinental airframe, the military variant known as the VC-137C served as the primary transport for seven United States Presidents, from John F. Kennedy to Bill Clinton. This aircraft was not just transportation; it was the backdrop for momentous historical events, from the swearing-in of Lyndon B. Johnson to Nixon's historic visit to China. This model captures the gravity and elegance of the "Spirit of '76" in stunning detail.
The SKYCRAFT kit distinguishes itself from a standard civilian B707 by including the specific modifications required for the Commander-in-Chief. The fuselage features the correct array of roof-mounted communication antennas and electronic countermeasures blisters that kept the President connected during the Cold War. The engine nacelles replicate the Pratt & Whitney TF33 turbofans, which gave the aircraft the power to operate from shorter runways while carrying heavy diplomatic payloads. The molding is crisp, with fine panel lines depicting the robust construction of this four-engine jetliner.
Visually, this model is defined by its livery—arguably the most beautiful ever applied to an aircraft. Designed by industrial legend Raymond Loewy at the request of Jacqueline Kennedy, the two-tone blue, silver, and white scheme is reproduced here with a premium decal sheet. The set includes the polished metal belly textures, the distinct "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" typography, and the intricate Presidential Seal for the nose. Also included are the tail numbers for SAM 26000 and SAM 27000, allowing you to choose which specific historic airframe to portray on your runway.
