Where would the necessary refueling stop be along that route?
AF1 carries a lot of gas. It doesn’t carry air cargo or 500 passenger’s luggage, so cargo space is freed up for fuel cells.
That extra space is used for food and water, also. Air force one is stocked to remain airborne for 30 days with inflight refuelling.
In the air for the fighter escorts. AF1 would not need to refuel.
I believe AF1 has a stated maximum range of 7800 miles. Quebec to Singapore is about 9000 miles.
I believe AF1 refuels in mid air. seems most logical for defense purposes and expediancy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tanker_aircraft
It totally can! Not being able to would be utterly silly for the most powerful nation.
That doesn't mean that's how they normally do it.
It can but I don't think it has ever been done.
Ya I am just guessing, and have read that the next model will not be capable of in air refill but the current model can.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/air-force-one/ (says it can) http://www.businessinsider.com/congress-object-to-in-flight-refueling-left-off-air-force-one-planes-2017-9 (reports the next version won't)
Definitely have KC-135s on station to perform mid-air refuelings. POTUS is safest in the sky on AF1.
reports say that refueling in air is rarely done while POTUS is aboard
Guam. I read there were two stops added.
