It may not be THE Air Force One, but it's one of 'em. And given ST's place of employment, I think I'll go with him on this one.

the plane in the pic looks like a dc-10... probably used to shuttle staffers around when there's not enough room for them on af1.

Very True. I've seen them do it numerous times. The Runway in Tulsa is very long and there is also a bunch of F-16 from the 138th Fighter Wing there. We see lots of different Military Aircraft in Tulsa. Tinker probably has lots more but it's a military base, not Will Rogers Airport. Therefore my stance that Tulsa >OKC stands. :D

outside of the fact that they're both jet transports,that's about as far as you could get from a DC-10. i'm pretty sure it's a 707.
went to the Reagan library about 4 years ago. (simi valley ca). there is a 707
in there that was used as an AF-1 when Ronny was prez. surprising that anyone in government would still have one.
could be as much as (about) 50 yrs old.

hell we just recently retired the f-15s and they were designed in the early 70s... the b-52 is still in service and its been around since vietnam at least.
my dad went to the SAC museum in omaha a few years back and was really depressed that all the equipment he used to use is now considered museum relics... i just laughed and made my obligatory too damn old joke.

My father was flying the KC-135 at Seymour-Johnson AFB when I was born (1960).
I saw one in Tinker's pattern yesterday. Along with an AWACS and Navy TACAMO bird.
The Boeing 707 airframe might be the most impressive aircraft design, in terms of functionality and longevity, in aviation history.

That's definitely a 707 at the start of the thread. It was also used as a tanker by the AF (KC 135). I'm shocked there is still one with the Presidential markings. Same type of plane that Kennedy landed at love Field before his assassination, and flew back to DC in a coffin.
Could this be a plane to be used in some upcoming movie?

It could be a plane that appears in a gis when you put in "Air Force One"
