Boeing VC-25A (747-200)
82-8000 · ICAO: ADFDF7 · Heavy jet
The two VC-25A presidential 747-200s — tail numbers 82-8000 (SAM 28000, hex ADFDF7) and 92-9000 (SAM 29000, hex ADFDF8) — operated by the 89th Airlift Wing at Joint Base Andrews (KADW). Callsign becomes 'Air Force One' whenever the sitting President is aboard; otherwise the aircraft fly as SAM 28000/29000.
ADS-B visibility is unreliable on POTUS movements: the aircraft regularly disable ADS-B Out for security, ride MLAT-only coverage, or appear under generic SAM callsigns. Expect coverage gaps and missing trails — that's a feature of the security profile, not a worker bug.
Note · Celebplanes tracks Air Force One's registered aircraft — not Air Force One personally. ADS-B data shows when and where the plane moved; who was aboard any given flight is unknown.

Yes. Celebplanes tracks 3 aircraft associated with Air Force One: a Boeing VC-25A (747-200) (82-8000), a Boeing VC-25A (747-200) (92-9000) and a Boeing VC-25 — POTUS aboard. Every movement is logged from the public ADS-B broadcast, so the flight history on this page is a record of the aircraft, not of who was aboard.
Air Force One flies 2 aircraft: Boeing VC-25A (747-200), Boeing VC-25 — POTUS aboard (82-8000, 92-9000). Live tracking, full flight history, and CO₂ emissions for each aircraft are available on this page.
Air Force One owns 3 tracked aircraft across 2 types: 82-8000 (Boeing VC-25A (747-200)), 92-9000 (Boeing VC-25A (747-200)) and Boeing VC-25 — POTUS aboard. This is the count Celebplanes can evidence from public registration and ADS-B records; aircraft held through undisclosed entities or chartered rather than owned would not appear here.
Air Force One flies a Boeing VC-25A (747-200) — a heavy aircraft (registration 82-8000). 2 further aircraft are tracked on this page: Boeing VC-25A (747-200) (92-9000) and Boeing VC-25 — POTUS aboard.
Air Force One's private jet tail numbers are 82-8000 (Boeing VC-25A (747-200)), 92-9000 (Boeing VC-25A (747-200)). Each registration links to the live tracking page with full flight history, fuel burn and CO₂ emissions on Celebplanes.
Air Force One's Boeing VC-25A (747-200) (82-8000) burns roughly 3600 gallons of Jet-A per hour, which converts to about 34,583 kg of CO₂ per flight hour — equivalent to roughly 85,602 miles of average passenger-car driving.

Air Force One's home base is Joint Base Andrews (KADW / ADW), with frequent destinations including KPBI, KLAX, KSFO, EGLL.
Across 1 tracked flight (2 flight hours) on Celebplanes, Air Force One's aircraft have emitted approximately 65.7t of CO₂. These figures are calculated from public ADS-B flight times multiplied by manufacturer-published fuel burn × the EPA standard 9.57 kg CO₂/gallon for Jet-A.
Yes. Every transponder-equipped aircraft broadcasts unencrypted ADS-B position data continuously, by FAA mandate. Celebplanes aggregates this public broadcast from ADSB Exchange, ADSB.fi, FlightRadar24 and airplanes.live — the same sources used by news outlets and academic researchers.
