"Air Show Air Force One"
| At the July 1995 Dayton Air Show in the military display area, there appeared an aircraft being called ‘Air Force One’. Whether by assumption or a clerical error in the program, the majority of Air Show patrons were heading to see ‘Air Force One’. As it turned out the aircraft in question was the Boeing E-4B, an emergency command and control platform flown by the 1st ACCS (Nightwatch), 55 Wing out of Offutt, Nebraska. The apparent confusion over the type is where the title of the painting comes from. The E-4B; based on the 747-200; provides command and control facilities for US Government use in an emergency situation. One of the four platforms is always ready for immediate use. The dorsal bulge houses a 5-mile long trailing antenna for the communications system and the airframes have cladding to diminish the effects of nuclear blasts. Ardell Bourgeois © 2005 |
