The current Air Force One planes are two highly modified Boeing 747-200B aircraft designated VC-25A, which have been in service since 1990. These planes were first flown in 1987 and delivered in 1990 after interior modifications and wiring issues were resolved. This means the planes are about 35 years old as of 2025
. The Boeing 747-200B model itself was introduced in 1971, but the specific VC-25A presidential aircraft are from the late 1980s. Despite upgrades, these planes are showing their age, and replacement aircraft based on the Boeing 747-8I (VC-25B) are expected to enter service around 2027, though there have been delays
. In summary, the Air Force One planes currently used are roughly 35 years old, with plans underway to replace them in the near future.
