What's it like?
Big, powerful, fast. safe,
modern and equipped with the
latest electronic and commu-
nications devices.
No gaudy showpiece, but a
prestige plane worthy of one
of the worlds most powerful
men.
For Long Trips
Basically, it's a Boeing COM
mercial TOT with redesigned in
terror for special Government
missions. The President will
use the our-engine jet for long
flights. But the fleet of three
will be at the service of other
high Government and military
men.
The VC137s-none has been
given a name-are less plush
than the Presidents five-year-
old, propeller-driven Column
bine III.
1--WE were given some guild
ance in the matter" said A. !.
Ostlund, tanker-transport sys-
TENS manager for the Boeing
Airplane Co., at a briefing ses-
sion.
The first of the SIS million
VCl37s to be delivered to the
Military Air Transport Service
next Thursday will be followed
by the second near the end Of
May and the third late in June.
1t probably will be toward
the close of summer, however,
before tests and shakedown
flights are finished and the
planes go into service.
Imagine that as one Of the
IT'S million Americans you re-
ceived the rare invitation to
tour the Presidents jet.
Plane Is Huge
The first impression would
be one of size. It extends half
the length of a football field
and nearly as wide. To be pre-
else, 1441a feet long and 1870
feet 10 inches from wingtip
to wingtip.
To the left after entering
through the forward door is
the cockpit in the nose with a
maze of dials, instruments. con-
trolls and warning horns, bells
and lights. There are seats for
the pilot, co-pilot, flight en-
gineer and navigator. and spare
seat for a third pilot.
Behind the cockpit is a Is
foot section containing a gal
ley, lavatory. coat closet and
communications facilities. Here
are the latest in radio-tele-
phone and radioteletype equip
ment, enabling the President
and key officials to keep in
touch with Washington from
any part Of the world.
Next comes a 10-foot for
ward seating section with eight
seats.
