Air Force One Special - POTUS 47 - Stansted Airport Live - 16th September 2025

Air Force One Lands at Stansted Airport – The President Arrives in the UK

Air Force One, the world’s most recognizable aircraft, touched down at London Stansted Airport carrying President Donald Trump. The Boeing VC-25A, a heavily modified Boeing 747-200B, serves as the official air transport for the President of the United States and is instantly recognizable with its blue and white livery, the Presidential Seal, and the words “United States of America” emblazoned on the fuselage.

This arrival is not just an aviation spectacle, but also a symbol of diplomacy, power, and history. Air Force One is more than a plane – it is a flying White House, complete with advanced communications, security systems, and the ability to serve as a mobile command centre. Inside, the aircraft features offices, a conference room, medical facilities, and living quarters to ensure the President can carry out duties anywhere in the world.

In this video, we capture the iconic moment as the aircraft descends over Essex skies before gliding onto the runway at Stansted. Aviation enthusiasts and political watchers alike will appreciate the rare chance to see one of the most secure and technologically advanced aircraft in the world up close.
