Air Force One is the official air traffic control call sign of a United States Air Force aircraft carrying the President of the United States. In common parlance the term refers to those Air Force aircraft specifically designed, built, and used for the purpose of transporting the president. The Presidential aircraft is a prominent symbol of the American presidency and its power.
This version of Air Force One is the Airbus A380.
The A380 was proposed as the replacement for the aging VC-25A's. But on January 28th, 2015, the Air Force announced that the Boeing 747-800 will serve as the next presidential aircraft. And not the Airbus A380.
