Governments usually have their own means of ferrying their officials and personnel around, but there are often specially purposed or designed craft meant specifically for carrying the government's chief executive (president, prime minister, monarch, etc.). These craft will have many features intended to keep their special passenger safe and secure. Often they will also have functions that enable it to serve as a mobile command center. Should their capital and military command centers be destroyed, the government will still have its leader and a means for him to take command. Air Force One is the most recognizable such craft in Real Life, and so it unsurprisingly spawns a number of fictional imitators, usually by identifying it with the military or government name and ending with the designation "One", which will indicate the head-of-state (That tradition was started after an incident when the President was traveling and his plane was given the same flight number as a commercial airliner that arrived at the same airport at roughly the same time, resulting in some confusion as to which plane the air traffic controllers were trying to talk to. Afterwards it was decided that Presidential flights should always have the same, easily distinguishable identifier to prevent a repeat incident). At times the connection will be taken even further by having a blue and white color scheme. The type of transport is usually a Cool Plane or a Cool Starship if it's in space, with the occasional Cool Train thrown in. There are official ground vehicles as well, but those are more ubiquitous and shouldn't be mentioned here unless there is something that really makes it stand out. Often seen during a State Visit. Not to be confused with the actual Air Force One, or the film Air Force One. |

The Incredible Crash Dummies has a sketch at the beginning where Bull and Sparetire test out a limo meant for the president. "It's supposed to be indestructible!" "Supposed to be?" While the limo passes the "getting smashed" test, the bomb test sends Sparetire flying, and Bull notes, "Guess we'll have to take out the sunroof..." | |

Honor Harrington: The royal yachts are the official ships of the Manticoran monarch, though the term yacht is a bit of a misnomer, as the most recent is a full warship, the battlecruiser HMS Duke of Cromarty. The use of a dedicated warship for the newest royal yacht probably had something to do with the previous one being destroyed by a surprise attack. The Queen wasn't aboard, but her Prime Minister, the Duke of Cromarty, was. | |

The film Air Force One is mostly set aboard the titular presidential transport, that terrorists hijack to force the release of a captured general. At the end of the movie the pilot of the rescue plane confirms that the President and First Family are safely on board by announcing that their callsign is changing from "Liberty-2-4" to "Air Force One" | |

In Fallout 4, if you defeat the Brotherhood of Steel as the Minutemen General, you will be able to recover one of their vertibirds for personal use, complete with one of your men as a pilot. Some players picked up the analogy with the NCR President's vertibird from Fallout: New Vegas (which was obtained exactly the same way by the Republic) and dubbed this vertibird "Bean Force One". | |

While not stated whether it's the official designation, the unmarked cargo plane carrying Osean president Vincent Harling in Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War has "Mother Goose One" as its callsign. Later in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, the V-22 Osprey evacuating Harling (now only ex-president but still highly respected) from the space elevator is given the same callsign during the operation until Trigger seemingly shoots it down by accident. | |

Air Force One also plays a prominent role in Independence Day, helping evacuate several characters from Washington and serving as the command center for the first counterattack. The film also features an aversion near the end of the movie: one of the fighter jets in the assault on the alien ship, despite carrying the President of the United States (as the pilot, no less), has the callsign Eagle One rather than Air Force One. The sequel briefly features Air Force One using the same hybrid technology that was salvaged from the alien ships and used for next-gen fighters. |

Battlestar Galactica (2003): Laura Roslin was aboard a spacecraft (apparently some sort of Casual Interplanetary Travel equivalent of an airliner) identified only by the radio callsign "Colonial Heavy 798" when the Cylons attack. When it becomes clear she in the highest-ranking government official still alive, she is sworn in as president and the ship begins identifying itself as "Colonial One". The paint job was specifically chosen to resemble Air Force One, despite the fact it seems to have been a regular commercial flight. Nevertheless, for the rest of the series it becomes President Roslin's official shuttle by default. | |

Babylon 5: The Minbari Grey Council travels aboard a special war cruiser called the Valen'Tha, which is also where they have their meetings. In The Lost Tales Sheridan is seen aboard a ship called the Valen as he is making an official visit to Babylon 5. The Centauri emperor travels to Babylon 5 aboard a ship they call the royal liner. Similar ships are seen later which are identified as battlecruisers, but this one seems distinct from them for the emperor's use. |
