The facility is under the jurisdiction of the United States Air Force 11th Wing, Air Force District of Washington (AFDW).[3] In 2009, Andrews Air Force Base and Naval Air Facility Washington were merged to form Joint Base Andrews. The base is named for Lieutenant General Frank Maxwell Andrews (1884–1943), former Commanding General of United States Forces in the European Theater of Operations during World War II. The base is widely known for serving as the home base of two Boeing VC-25 aircraft which have the call sign Air Force One while the President of the United States is on board. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrews_Field Controlled by United States Air Force Site history Built 1945 In use 1945 – present Garrison information Garrison 11th Wing Andrews Field is the airfield portion of Joint Base Andrews which is under the jurisdiction of the United States Air Force.[3] In 2009, Andrews Air Force Base merged with Naval Air Facility Washington to form Joint Base Andrews. Andrews is the home base of two Boeing VC-25A aircraft with the call sign Air Force One when the president is on board, that serve the President of the United States.[4] The host unit at Andrews is the 11th Wing, assigned to the Air Force District of Washington. It is responsible for maintaining emergency reaction rotary-wing airlift and other National Capital Region contingency response capabilities critical to national security, and for organizing, training, equipping and deploying combat-ready forces for Air and Space Expeditionary Forces (AEFs). The wing commander is Colonel Kenneth R. Rizer.[5] The Command Chief Master Sergeant is Chief Master Sergeant Anthony Brinkley.[6] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_One 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.[1] 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.[2] The idea of designating specific military aircraft to transport the President arose in 1943, when officials of the United States Army Air Forces, the predecessor to the U.S. Air Force, became concerned with relying on commercial airlines to transport the President. A C-87 Liberator Express was reconfigured for use as a presidential transport; however, it was rejected by the Secret Service amid concerns over the aircraft's safety record. A C-54 Skymaster was then converted for presidential use; this aircraft, dubbed the Sacred Cow, transported President Franklin D. Roosevelt to the Yalta Conference in February 1945, and was subsequently used for another two years by President Harry S. Truman. The "Air Force One" call sign was created after a 1953 incident during which a Lockheed Constellation named Columbine II carrying President Dwight D. Eisenhower entered the same airspace as a commercial airline flight using the same call sign. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_VC-25 Role Presidential transport Manufacturer Boeing First flight May 16, 1987 Introduction August 23, 1990 Status In service Primary user United States Air Force Produced 1986–90 Number built 2 Unit cost US$325 million Developed from Boeing 747-200B https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Maxwell_Andrews Frank Maxwell Andrews (February 3, 1884 – May 3, 1943) was a general officer in the United States Army and one of the founders of the United States Army Air Forces, which was later to become the United States Air Force. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pentagon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Alamos_National_Laboratory https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwHDyMolzSxH_34rp3jTD9A
