With long flight schedules and lengthy flights, you never know when someone may fall sick on the plane. When anyone gets injured or takes ill, the mini hospital on Air Force one is fully equipped to tackle emergencies. It has a complete medical room with all medical facilities including an operation theater and specialist doctors. That’s top health care since you have pretty important people on board.

You never know when there could be a zombie apocalypse or some mad world leader pressing the nuclear button causing al out nuclear war. Air Force One is equipped to meet all eventualities such as nuclear war, earthquake, meteor strikes or maybe even a zombie attack. E-4B is a major backup for AF1 and it is also the codename for the plane nicknamed “the Doomsday Plane”. It is always on high alert status and can fly for days outpacing any nuclear explosion or strikes.

Air Force One can easily be refueled in midair. That is a rare feature restricted to the defense forces where a plane can be refueled even when it is flying at 35,000 feet. That’s an important requirement in terms of security for the president today.

If there is a nuclear attack, Air Force One is perhaps a safe haven to hide but that is if you can get in of course. The body of the aircraft is designed to withstand any nuclear blast or a nuclear strike from the ground which makes it a flying bomb shelter for the President and his team.

Communication is an extremely important feature aboard AF1 and it has remarkable items. There are 85 phones aboard the plane along with some pretty sophisticated and advanced communication technology. There are two-way radios, fax machines, a variety of computer connections, 19 televisions, 238 miles of electronic wiring which are encased in heavy shielding to protect from the electromagnetic impulse of a nuclear blast.
