#17: The Remarkable Range of Air Force One

Air Force One, the U.S. President’s aircraft, boasts a fuel capacity of 52,000 gallons, enabling it to traverse 12,000 miles—halfway around the globe—without refueling. This ensures passengers worry less about fuel shortages during their journey.

With its emergency aerial refueling capability, Air Force One could theoretically circumnavigate the entire planet by refueling just once. This feature significantly enhances its operational range and strategic flexibility for global missions.
