- VC-9C serial number 73-1682 served to transport America's leaders from 1975 until 2011. Much of that time it served as Air Force Two, for Vice Presidents Walter Mondale, George H.W. Bush, Dan Quayle, Al Gore and Dick Cheney. It also served occasionally as AF One for presidents Ronald Regan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. America's First Ladies were also frequent fliers. Nancy Reagan, Rosalynn Carter, Barbara Bush, Hillary R. Clinton and Laura Bush.
I love the sound of those old DC-9's.
WOW what memories.....I'm a retired US NAVY NURSE Corp Officer and I flew on the C 9 a lot transporting military personnel and wounded soldiers to BALBOA NAVAL HOSPITAL and other areas. Quite a lot of memories! :) Great post! :)
Wow my dream job a nurse in the UK myself thanks for your service:-)
Really big salute to you :-)
This is why they had to hide the tictok
And just because something is old, doesn't make it bad. I checked out your channel and found that you have some old planes on there as well, some of which are MD-83s and MD-80s which have almost IDENTICAL cockpits! The DC-9 is a great plane and I will stand by it no matter what!
Beetle? Your all a bunch of cunts!
This aircraft flew in to the Dover AFB Air Mobility Command Museum from its last assignment of the 932nd Airlift Wing at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois in 2011
Delta Airlines tried to buy that ancient bird
Very sleek looking plane.
The sweet sound of those engines.
Well, yes the safety record isn't very desirable but I had the opportunity to sit inside an old AirTran DC-9-32 just recently and may I just say that it has the coolest cockpit on the planet! It is designed with humans in mind, everything is in a good position, they prioritize the instruments and controls so that what is most important is down in front and center and what isn't as important is placed equally in reach of the pilots but out of the way.
Was this when it became asda sorry guys I know this game sucks
What a beautiful aircraft and the sound I’m in love :-)
That's my Dad!
Can't remember the year, but when Gore was VP, he flew into Roanoke VA on one of these DC-9's...can't believe the low manhours on it, flew on many passenger versions of these...
92-96?
VC-9B
@@bob80q what happened to uncle Bob 😂
This aircraft is so beautiful...Very very nice...
Still looking very nice....A great aircraft...Nice...
Spent many hours and miles on 1682 in the 80s.
Yeah but not by much! The MD-80 is technically called the DC-9-80 as well
Very nice...
VC-9B, there were about 5 or 6 in the fleet and not just used by the VP; and only designated AF2 if the VP is onboard
Gorgeous plane.
I thought the tail o was king @ 0.36 in the twist and shout song?
Are any of you familiar with the Gulfstream Exec Jets (possibly G3's or G4's) that were used to carry high ranking military or diplomatic officials during the late 80's and early 90's. Painted in the standard USAF light and dark blues, I'm looking for a particular jet that would have been on the ground at Ramstein AFB, GE. esp. in 1991 or 1992. I would be taking a wild guess at the tail number but I think it was something like N65000 or there abouts. I'm nearly certain that the "N" number ended in 000. I would be amazed to see a picture of this jet again.... hope someone could help. Thanks
its the fire-brigades way of celebrating the last flight of a plane or the first flight of a plane :)
Are there any videos of airforce 2 interiors?
yes that is true and I guess that a guy can have his opinions so I won't fight you anymore :)
That "wetting down" or what ever they call it must of killed the ground crew at Andrews, I bet they just gave it the last hand wax before it took off.
Let's see what the insideplush looks like
1681 went to Castle air museum , not to the boneyard like he said , he wasn't very well informed , I just watched the video on 1681 . tile of the video is castle gets a vc9 air force one
learflyer2 where did 1682 go
Saw it visit Binghamton NY when Clintons came to town. Also saw Reagans 707 there in 85
VC-137
whats the water spray for?
Thought that was only for ships at sea
Nevermind, you already did lol and I subbed:)
That Lt Col's uniform looks like a bag of doorknobs!
lol yeah :3 but i prefer the md-80 version since its more modern
Are you serious?! How can you hate the DC-9, it is one of THE GREATEST planes EVER built. I apologize though, you must be blind :)
It is true that the DC-9 had several terrible accidents but my first air trip was on that plane. I will never forget that experience.
Is this why they squashed the ace of clubs so then can make it a diamond blue to make us all sick 😭
Where will it be placed?
Dont know day it was inside a by parrot while the skull cap became a narrow eaten cap cake while the heart(double swords) calf on the right can eat while giving a lick 😂
Yes
That's a dc-9 right?
Matt Productions That is a VC-9C civilian variant: DC-9
AWE-SOME ^_^
Sure! Will you return the favor??
Janguenoenoenoeno?
The new Air Force Two should be a DC-10 or 777
A DC10? LOL!
Air Force Two has alway been a smaller aircraft to allow The President to use smaller runways...
@@twarrior17
"Airforce 2" can be ANY airplane in the US Airforce as long as the vice president is onboard, without the president. If the vice president is going somewhere requiring the large VC-25A (747) without the president, then even that aircraft is referred to as Airforce 2. (And yes, Im sure you were already aware of this but I posted it for others who may read this comment thread) 🙂
The 747 VC25A has been used by EVERY Vice President from VP Cheney on up to VP Pence on foreign trips a few times each, FYI. As have the smallest planes been used as Air Force One.
@@claytonrowe8103 you're an idiot, the VP does NOT use the VC-25 but rather a C-32
aha! BUT the md-83 - the Boeing 717 is the most modern by A LONG SHOT ;) lol :) ya gotta admit it mcdonnell douglas planes have had more crashes thn the boeing 737-100 and 200 series (fluffy).
a DC-9? really? ughh! horrible :/
well it has a bad cockpit and extremely bad safety record so its a terrible plane
THIS IS A PRISTINE AIRFRAME , I HOPE THEY DON'T PARK IT OUTSIDE.
Everyone has an opinion and you have made your statement, however many experienced pilots would disagree!
A retirement ceremony...for a plane? With speeches? For whom? The plane won't care. Jeez.
🤣🤣🤣
What's next? 21 gun salutes for used toilet paper?
No wonder America is dying.
Wasting time and money on ceremonies for inanimate objects.
And that is just the tip of the iceberg on American waste.
You will never understand. I won’t waste ur time but planes r more to aviation geeks and pilots than u may think
@@braylenfab6523 Wow - you are not too bright. Telling someone you have never met 'they will never understand' is so staggeringly inept...I don't know where to begin.
And hey Bozo - I was admitting how much planes DO mean to some people. DUH. Can't you read? I know how much moronic pilots get all weak-kneed about shit like this. And they are ALL babies, really young or flat our stupid.
And I will say it again. Giving a retirement ceremony to an inanimate object? Especially one that never even saw combat - is the height of nonsense. And anyone who went to this event - and were not forced to - is either stupid and/or mentally juvenile.
Jeez...if it was the last DC-9 ever...okay. But this is all for just one fucking plane.
All the misery and death and starvation in the world. Even back then? And these bozos are wasting time and money on this silliness?
🤣🤣🤣
Bunch of children with no lives.
@@McRocket Well I don’t see where u say u know how much they mean, u actually make pilots look like fools. Listen here, aircraft like this are what have given people a purpose for me, this airplane was my first plane ride and has since given me a passion that quite frankly has kept me on this earth. It’s more than just a piece of aluminum with wings. But I get it, you don’t have that kind of passion for this all good, have fun at the office tmrw.
@@braylenfab6523 - I acknowledged the hype exists. That proves that I recognize that people are doing this. And obviously it would be mostly pilots showing up.
And flying this plane gave you a purpose? What kind of shallow life did you have?
If the only thing that gives you a purpose in life is flying an inanimate object? You need to seek psychological counselling.
Your purpose in life should be helping others, improving yourself, learning, your family, your friends, your children, your parents and siblings...not flying a plane. Especially a non-combat plane at that.
@@McRocket Well considering I was a three year old being inspired by a high powered aircraft and well put together pilots, I would say it was not a shallow life. Also, don’t assume, I have full intentions of being a naval aviator so in fact I will be helping ppl. Also, being a commercial pilot is a huge help. What u don’t realize is that commercial pilots are responsible for your packages, so the pages in ur Covid book, were on a plane at some point. Additionally, pilots give kids like myself, a way out, a passion, something to live for. Your the shallow one here because you don’t realize just how much to this there rly is. So to answer ur question, yes this exact aircraft type did give me a purpose bc that’s what life is about right? Finding your purpose? Also I may be wrong but I saw something on your page about the 75+ crowd being a burden, how helpful is that, diminishing something someone can’t control like age.
