Air Force One VC-25A ROARING Takeoff at MSP Airport

[@isaactxn]

I know this is a really stupid question to ask, but how does the president's vehicles get to MN? Are there multiple in all states or did they drive there earlier? If someone can answer, that'd be very appreciated.

Not a stupid question! 2-3 C17 Globemasters deliver the necessary vehicles a few days prior, including the “Marine One” helicopter.

best footage of AFO I've seen so far

[@roadwarrior144]

So, given this is a military aircraft, and given the highly specialized nature of its missions, and given the highly protected nature of the commander-in-chief whom this aircraft serves, can I be forgiven for assuming these are not off-the-shelf GE turbo fan engines? And that they have been modified to produce extra power? It would seem logical to me that they have been modified to perform at a higher level for safety/security reasons in addition to the reasons already mentioned. Any thoughts or feedback? I ask because the engines just seem a bit louder then what I thought was normal. I could be entirely wrong though.

[@majobis]

Looks like you were over on the parking terminal levels to be that high up enough to get that shot along with a good steady zoom. I used to work at the airport during my rental car days and where I was located down on the far end of the runway where Air Force One started the roll out to takeoff position. Spent a few times watching the 747's rattle the rental cars around while I was inside of them with the jet wash when they powered up to move into position after being cleared for takeoff. Noisy as heck during those years from the end of the runway too. Fighter jets were even louder from that point too. The rental cars are now inside the parking terminal and no longer at the end of the runway. Once a while you get lucky to see AF1 come in for a landing on the main runway as you drive over the river crossing

[@joegordon8141]

Air Force one has to be the only 747 to ever use 30R at MSP.Very cool to see.

[@terriholliday8038]

What is 30R at MSP?

[@twincitiesaviator]

MSP has a set of parallel runways. 12L and 12R face SE 30L and 30R face NW 30R is at the West-most point of the airport.

[@joegordon8141]

30R/12L is also shorter than 30L/12R and 4/22 thus less active for heavy traffic.

[@twincitiesaviator]

All the heavy gates are on the 30L/12R side of the terminals as well.

[@tomsamuelson8512]

NWA 747's used 30R a lot in the 80's till Delta retired them a few years ago. Landing on 30R was no problem but they had to use 30L /12R or 4/22 to take off if they were heavy.

Beautiful video!! Love watching Air Force One take-off and land. The pilot is magnificent. You would never know, if you are a passenger, that this jet just took-off. To think that number 45 wanted to replace this Boeing jet with a brand new one especially built for him. Thank god the only thing replaced was him!!

[@deltahawk1001]

The new jet is still happening, though it is behind schedule. This jet is due for a replacement as it's modifications that make it suitable for the job are in dire need of modernization. The new one is also far more fuel efficient, faster, and more environmentally friendly. It was always understood that Trump would probably not use the new plane much, if at all, due to how long the process of converting the plane takes. What was in all actuality just a normal government contract/acquisition process was simply overly politicized due to the person in charge at the time. Happily though, the new ones are still 747s.

[@JS-zb1vv]

Trump got it way cheaper BTW! You are a genius!! Do you know how long it actually takes to actually make a new Air Force one !! All presidents put stuff in place for future presidents!

[@DaveHarris75]

The “magnificent” pilot has extremely limited control over the aircraft, because it literally flies itself (thanks to technology and computer programs). Also, a former President (most recently) was limited to proposing color changes, not the plane.
