- US President Joe Biden lands at RAF Mildenhall for jet fuel on his way back from the Middle East. Biden stayed on the plane, a modified Boeing 747 with the call-sign 'Air Force 1', while it re-fuelled amongst a large security presence at the US Air Force operated base in Suffolk, England.
The Boeing VC-25 is operated by the US Air Force, a modified Boeing 747 for military VIP use. While he is on-board it carries the call-sign 'Air Force 1' and is followed by a support plane, a Boeing C-32 (modified Boeing 757), that also landed for fuel.
A motorcade of US security vehicles and London Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism / Special Escort Group units were on standby in case he needed to travel by land. Two US Army Blackhawks from Germany were also on standby for medevac if needed. Military police provided security around the base while a no-fly zone was put into place.

Man. That landing was so smooth. An aircraft that heavy and the pilot just set it down nice and easy!
America has the best pilots.

I think there are many RAF vets and BA pilots who might disagree with that, but fair enough.
@@Ed-Goldberg totally. I’m American so I think we are the best. But the RAF and BA are bad asses in their own right. No disrespect meant
@@xjww8623 Lmao, and why is that?
The cost of this entire operation would probably just about outweigh the cost to fill up my ford KA at the local petrol station.
👍🏻😆
I very much doubt this has any affect on you considering the fact you don’t fill your KA with Jet Fuel, be good if you could tho
@@connorbrannan2270 wasn’t a like for like on fuel. Was a like for like on cost. And a hypothetical one at that 😉😉😉

Ye lol
I imagine the best pilots fly Air Force One. Military trained. That plane (& Air Force Two) have amazing defensive capabilities too.
The best of the best of the air force. It's basically a floating White House.
Remember this is a presidential plane and not just any president. USA PRESIDENT
They have the best defence equipment too.
Any pilot flying the E4 is godly, they’re all smooth with it like that.
The Best Pilot in the Air Force is callled 'Auto-pilot'
That landing was butter. Some skill to land a plane that size as smooth as that.
Equipment is the main factor, pilots are there to monitor
Apparently the 747 is a very "docile" plane (handling-wise)
Not really a plane that size is extremely easy to control
@@leftsidem5030 No they aren't at all, its really insulting to just assume that
@@danielmeador1991 No its not, its like saying the VC25-A or VC25-B as its now is anything like a 747, on the face (appearance) of it yes but in reality its barely like one.
I was stationed at Mildenhall in the '80s. Loved it. Reagan was president. He & Thatcher were close allies. When he was in England, Air Force One stated at Mildenhall.
I was fortunate enough to be on the previous Air Force One, a modified Boeing 707. As an Air Force ARFF, it was required that we did a walkthrough. We need to know where the T- Handles for Fire Suppression are & Engine Shut Down procedures. We had access to the entire aircraft EXCEPT the communications room. If that's on fire, let it burn.
Kind of like the SR-71 Blackbird. If the front of the aircraft is on fire, save it. The rear seat pilot, let it burn. We had 2 Stationed at Mildenhall. Great times at The Galaxy Club & all the towns of East Anglia.
Previous Air Force one was a Boeing 707 not 727

Yeah
I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall when President Carter flew there on Air Force One Tail number 26000 in 1977. The same plane that brought President Kennedy back to DC after his assignation. Now this massive 747. How times have changed. Amazing.
Cool! I’ve seen and toured SAM 27000 at the Reagan library; it’s beautiful. Carter actually changed the Raymond Loewy livery; one of his (many) missteps…

Its actually so they can get airbourne quicker if an attack is immediately launched, if you watch the documentary about when Bush visit Afghan on Xmas day to serve xmas dinner to us troops the Air Force One captain explains the differences between flight handling with these planes compared to the civilian equivalent this is specifically mentioned because although the ground is secure there is a increased chance of RPGs launched at runways damaging it then bringing the plane down as it approaches,
@@samwalker8893 by chance, do you recall the name of the documentary? I’d love to watch it.
@@samwalker8893 can you share the link or the name of the documentary? Thank you
The current livery on SAM 28000 is fabulous. It should be retained for the new 747s on order.
It is. The Trump chosen colour scheme has been overturned by Biden. The two new 747s will be in the current Baby Blue scheme.
Yes, I agree. If anything they should make it as close to the Raymond Loewy original as possible. It will look great since the 747-8 is the prettiest 747.
Great photography. Saw many details about this massive impressive plane that I've NEVER seen before. (the 3 bumps on top of the fuselage?)
(the camera looking thing at the tail?) Well Done!

Wow! Watch the size of the Air Force one. Great video.
I remember my Lufthansa 747 Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur flight. Take off was really scary and plane didn't feel as structurally sound as the newer A350 I had been in a few hours earlier. The Steep maneuver right after take off was very unsettling
And yet I would still take the 747 over the A350 in heartbeat!
My first cross-Atlantic flight (San Francisco) from London was the same sensation after a first 1h flight in an other plane. I was 14 (watching the show lost at the time) and was scared to death for the first 5 minutes after that steep maneuver in the 747 and then when we hit some turbulence over the Atlantic one more big scare. But I would love to ride in one again before they disappear for ever... same for the A380. They are magnificent in there own way

You really need to get a Windjammer, Dead Cat on your microphone. It's fundamental to any microphone used outside, even if you can't perceive any air movement.
Absolutely indeed!! I know nothing about video cameras & their use but even I know that a "wind deflector" or what ever it is called must be utilised in the open air otherwise the resultant sound effects are bloody terrible & so is the video due to piss poor sound!!
That's a good idea that. Seen a lot of the others using them, definitely essential at an airfield.

Back to Washington from the Middle East and Air Force 1 needs refuel? Incredible.
If we don't reverse course soon, There are only two possible outcomes from there plan. (1). The US economy completely collapses leading to a massive civil war and America falls. (2). A dramatic reduction in the American standard of living, and we are reduced to an authoritarian third world dumpster fire (which is what I believe the current administration wants), so long as the left stays in power.

Hey there 👋
Security-wise, would the risks/complexity of an in-air refuel have been an option? AF1 can do that, yes?
I don't think the new Air Force One can do airiel refuelling.
@@jaredbasic5743 I didn't realize that until now!! Had to look it up. Crazy!
Yes, though it never has. They practice with the NEACP 747s though.
Yes they can- this current plane can- (the new coming will not) but I understand that an in-air refuel hasn’t happened in years and isn’t really done when you can land on an Air Force base abroad or in an allied country. It’s riskier procedure as well so they wouldn’t do it when POTUS is on board in general. Still fine to land and refuel.
Helluva tour bus right there. More square feet than 12 full sized entertainer tour busses. Amazing that thing flies.
And way to good for a clown like Biden
My late Father In Law was in charge of maintenance of AF1 at Andrews. Man, he had some great stories about Nixon and Johnson.
Amazing that for him to land they have all the military get onto the airport first, the Americans really are a super power.

Nice video work. Shame about all the cackling in the background. Why can't some people learn to be quiet for 15 odd minutes and enjoy an impressive moment in silence?
Fascinating! This is a valuable video in detailing of all the efforts that go into US Presidential security. Even if the President was not on board, I just enjoy seeing all the different service vehicles that provided support, the plane spotters, etc. The President visited my city a few months back, but I did not make a special effort to watch the event....I didn't think I would be able to see much, if anything, so I let the security folks have one less person to be concerned with milling about. Thanks very much, and I enjoy all your videos!
It's a hugely extensive effort! I've been fortunate enough to film many US Presidential movements in the UK over the past 3 administrations. They're very open about having people present to watch and film the spectacle, which is great!

@@australiantruckspotting8883 Oh right. You had me greatly confused there. My mistake, I am sorry!😂
@@jaredbasic5743 no dramas. Have a great evening
I watched it land and take off in Paris during the GWB presidency. Security there was not excessively stringent, and it was not at a military airfield - It was at Orly airport, which was open for business as per usual. They did a trick though - they took off in the opposite direction from all the other traffic. Aircraft were taking off to the north-east (RWY 06) and AF1 departed to the south-west (RWY24). I don't know why they did this, but one might guess it is an extra precaution to thwart a ground-based attack. The 747-200 was not alone. It was accompanied by a 757, painted in identical US livery. I watched them arrive together - military style, with very close spacing between them - but they did not depart together (I didn't see the 757 depart). I was listening to ATC, and they used the callsign "Airforce One". They had a clearance limit (don't recall what it was) but they requested to climb direct to 10,000ft, which was approved.
Aero braking like a boss.

Imagine the amount of surveillance that this plane gets when it flies... It must be unbelievable
Just impressive to see that plane!!
Air Force One is definitely Impressive, but I kind of wish it was painted a beautiful Red white and blue with brighter colors
Many mo thanks fo d Video 💐
Just a side note, Airforce One doesn't need to land anywhere to fuel up. It gets refueling by military air tankers in the sky, mid air refueling. This flight is for something else other than fuel
Right……it can fly halfway around the globe without refueling…..
Not that I disagree with you but they probably chose to stop for fuel rather than using a tanker for convenience. Tankers generally have to fly at a specific speed and altitude for refueling. Many different factors could have cause them not, i.e. severe turbulence or cloud coverage. They would have to onload probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 140,000 lbs of fuel to continue on and a KC-135 is pretty much full at that point. At the average 6,500 lbs per minute fuel transfer speed, it would take 21 minutes! That's pretty straining on the pilots, especially after just coming all the way from the Middle East. So, the probably were stopping for fuel for an easier day.
My understanding is that these VC-25s have the ability to midair refuel (hence the port on her nose) but would only take the risk if necessary. The doomsday planes have this as well.
@shane walton, correct. It can and does
Air Force One has not been refueled in flight for decades
Very smooth piloting! I noticed some new fairings on top of the aircraft, too, (covering up antennae so adversaries can’t extrapolate the frequencies, or some such). Thanks for posting this; you misspelled “Resident Burden” though.
Covering up the antennae does not hide the frequencies as that is the most basic thing thing SIGINT can detect. It's covered up for aerodynamic purposes. Intercepting and detecting a frequency being actively emitted is quite a basic thing. Decrypting is a different thing
@@danm4320 >> I stand corrected.

You do realise that the current two USAF VC-25A/747s have inflight refuelling capability. It isn't use for such flights with POTUS onboard for safety reasons. The two new 747s will not have the inflight refuelling capability after the deal that Trump made with Boeing.
A Good One US President must be always Safe everywhere where he travels. Congratulation to the Team who realise this recording to watch.
Thanks to 9/11 the VP and President are never on board the same aircraft.
Do 747s have to remain on the ground after landing for a certain time to let the brakes cool off before they can move again? I was on a Lufthansa 747 once on a flight from JNB to FFT that had to make a pit stop in ATH for additional fuel and the captain told the passengers he couldn't take off again for 90 minutes, so the brakes could cool. (I don't know any other reason for that length of stop, and it made me miss a connection to IAD -- but LH put me on a DL flight which got me to Washington on time for a meeting.
Pilot probably braked to heard instead of using the entire runway
If the plane has a short layover the pilots use more of reverse thruster than the brakes but planes will fly with reverse thruster non operational and that could have been the reason the brakes were used extensively.
The Airbuses have brake fans as an option for quicker turnarounds. Few airlines spec them. They're an option even on the A380
Only if the next landing stage is within the cooling period, essentially hot brakes swell in size, if you cooled them 50% whilst taking fuel and then took off which is achievable immediately then flying for four plus hours its ok, but if your flight plan is a local stopping route and its 45 minutes then essentially you only got a short time to cool them to allow the full capacity, not a good idea if you have your now heavy fuel filled plane with a warm swollen 50% capacitant brake system

I was military. I know too well. I served with ex Vietnam veterans. That's why I said that USA is paying in more ways than one.
Nice videography. Landing was smooth. But isn't AF1 enabled with mid air refuelling capability? Seems there was more than fuel which was either loaded or unloaded.
What’s the smaller plane with the same livery?
Thank you for sharing.
I love seeing both aircraft land and take off. The modified 757 or C-32 is really nice looking. Yes, the Vice President and/or the Secretary of State has that aircraft to fly the world in. And I have noticed in the news over the years, when the President fly or uses the C-32 then at that time it is Air Force One because the President is using that aircraft. I noticed back then on the news President Bush Jr. used that aircraft a lot. It was great seeing that usage back then.
The 3 bumps on top of the aircraft are like sunroofs on a car. The president can open it in mid air for fresh air or to fly his kite.
He has a pinwheel hat. Yells wheeeeeeeeeeee the whole way there.
If the president was on the 757, it would be called Air Force One. Any plane is called Air Force One as soon as the President boards it.

Mid air fuel filling option not available in Air Force One?
Not used for Presidential flights. The procedure is deemed too risky for such peacetime flights. In an emergency only. Even the two new replacement aircraft for AF1 will not have in-flight refuelling capability.
Looked like they wasn't using full thrust, only just lifted off in time
I am surprised they dont have midair refueling from a USAF tanker plane.
They do have the capability, but it isn't used for POTUS flights. Procedure is deemed too risky for such POTUS flights in peacetime.
I don't think it's necessary if you have allies
Refuelling in the air is risky and the fuel a beoing 747 midair is no push over.
@@Tomteeejay Landing and making POTUS a fixed ground target is far more dangerous. IDK why people think AF1 isn't refuelling in flight except that perhaps the lack of need to refuel by the planes makes it seem that way.
@@nochannel1q2321 Air Force One VC-25A/747 is not refuelling in flight and especially with POTUS on. Think about it? When Air Force One (VC-25A) flies from Washington to the likes of Japan or South Korea it makes a stop in Alaska. That is the scheduled refuelling stop as in-flight refuelling with POTUS onboard in peacetime is deemed too risky. These are rules made by the US Secret Service.
Air force one can also be fuelled from the sky if there are no allied countries close by....Depends on what the president wants
It's a pretty rough ride during Aerial Refueling
It isn't up to the President. Inflight refuelling is deemed a safety concern for such Presidential flight and hence the capability is not used for such peactime flights. US Secret Service call the shots for safety and security. The replacement aircraft for these VC-25A, the VC-25Bs will not have the inflight refuelling capability.
@@Tomteeejay The Air Force controls operations of the aircraft and in-flight refueling for both of the AF1 aircraft, the Doomsday plane and the C17s that move the helicopters and vehicles are all routinely refuelled in air, not on the ground. More to the point the AF1 aircraft range on a tank of fuel is more than sufficient to make the trip described on a singlo fuel load.
@@nochannel1q2321 Nonsense. The VC-25As are not in-flight refuelled when POTUS in onboard. So explain why the VC-25As make a refuelling stop in Alaska when flying to the likes of Japan or South Korea? They wouldn't be making that scheduled stop and detailing it on their flight plans if in-flight refuelling was being used. The procedure of in-flight refuelling with POTUS onboard is deemed too risky for peacetime flights. In a dire emergency or wartime conditions then that option is of course available, but is deemed too risky and it why it is not conducted. The replacement aircraft VC-25B 747-800 as it currently stands will have no inflight refuelling capability and has even less range that the current VC-25A 747-200s due to the all up weight with the modifications to AF1 standard.

Nearby willingham bc at my house I saw a McDonnell Douglas fighter jet flying over the house and it departed from u guessed it mildenhall
LOVE seeing our Air Force VIP aircraft anywhere! BEST pilots in the world. Anyone see the little British bunny running scared @18:35? Poor baby.
You Americans are so brain washed. This is why you're $27 trillion in debt..
Notification on. Can't wait for this one.
Look forward to providing it! :D
Gday @EmergencyMediaBrisbane
@@nathansoutbackfishing Yo
@@Brisbanebasedphotography5185 love your channel dude.
@@nathansoutbackfishing Cheers
Very marvellous arrival and takeoff on the Boeing VC-25A and Boeing C-32A in the evening 😎🤩
This is my best video of them both. Thank you!
@@CobraEmergency wow !! Now that is absolutely awesome bro as it hit 1.6 million views too as of today and most welcone sir !!! 😎
Only legends notice that there is rabbit running infront of support plane 😂!!
Imagine being that bunny in the field 🤣
Haha I was fascinated by the bunny! 😂
Fuel is so high in the us even airforce one is stopping at the mom and pop fuel stop for better prices!!
It’s not that high. It’s under $5 and continue to drop weekly. Most countries will like to trade spots with us at the moment.
You can thank the passenger for that.
Reminder set.
Waiting to watch
The plane is the symbol for America.
The moron in it sure as hell isnt
One of many
Not it’s current passenger though
@murryvaughan3388 That is President Biden....not trump.
Only the plane ✈️ itself! haha 😂
He should of landed in Ireland as he keeps on going on about his Irish roots and slagging the UK off
Could of got some Guinness while waiting lol
Could HAVE!!!!!!
@@leedsman54 or even Should HAVE
Boeing 757 ,beautiful.
I dont get why they never have done mid-air refueling. Would save a lot of time.
Smart move fuel prices in the USA are NUTS!
You took the words out of my mouth lol 🤘
Gas is more expensive in the UK than in the US
@@j.a.3138 so is kerosene
Still going to be cheaper than in the uk
Best pilots ever. Smooth landing
Really??? And you know this how? Have you seen EVERY pilot that has flown a plane since the Wright brothers?
@@franklinterrell9392 Whats your problem? I have seen many pilots land and not all landing in great conditions. I actually admire ALL pilots. You seem to like attacking others post with asking a question.
@@franklinterrell9392 easy. No need to be mean
@@salsaslife362 and we Admire you. Cheers
@@salsaslife362 I've seen many pilots land as well, but I haven't seen them all..neither have you.
Remember that’s 4 engines, so short runaway take offs are normal here
For refuelling ?
I would assume the 747 is equipped to stay in the air for long periods of time and if not could be refueled by air transport while in route. I can see where the smaller plane may not have that capability.
It was my understanding as well the plane could be fueled without landing. This here surprised me.
@@GemGem23 Inflight refuelling is not used with President on board. The procedure is deemed too risky. Yes, in an emergency or wartime situation, but not in peacetime.
@@Tomteeejay I had no idea a 747 like this could refuel midair ie it’s not equipped with anything to suggest that capability?? Can you please explain to someone with zero knowledge other than a basic understanding of military aircraft.
@@MissP7197 Hi MissP. If you look on the nose between the nose cone and windshield you will see a bump/hump. That is the aerial refuelling receptacle. A small door will open and the operator on the refuelling tanker will guide a flying boom with is extendable into the socket.
@@MissP7197 thanks for telling him to explain more
It surprises me they need a fuel stop on the return from the Middle East, you'd think they have the range?
That was my thought however this is a 200 model but at this configuration I would assume 7000 mile range. Trump stopped twice returning from Singapore
The Air Force One is said to have the fuel capacity to reach US soil from anywhere in the world. So - wtf did we just witness...?
@@lordroo8484 it does with inflight refueling. Trump stopped twice on the way home from Singapore. Also they don’t generally buy gas out of base due to sabotage. If they do plan they bring in their own gas way ahead of time and the tanks are guarded 24/7 until the plane is fueled
Bottom line is they never buy gas out of base, planes range is about 6k, and that why they fueled in the uk. Trump stopped in Guam and Honolulu coming back from Singapore
Biden had to run to the store for more diapers. He ran out
Beautiful bird. Great video.
