Inside Air force one
One of the coolest parts of Air Force One is definitely the inside of the plane. Everything needs to be perfect for the president, from perfectly made beds that can fold out in to sofas, to clean towels, and fresh food which is brought to the president whenever he feels like a snack. The video below is a National Geographic documentary which has a lot of information on Air Force One. Don't feel like you have to watch it online, it can be bought at places like Amazon, Best Buy, Barnes & Nobles, Ebay, and Google Shopping. Also check out the slideshow under the video, and use the facts under that to identify certain rooms in the pictures.
The President's Quarters
The president’s quarters has a workout room, a very nice bathroom, and a bedroom. The president’s quarters are at the very front of the plane on level two. The bathroom has showers and sinks, and is always ready for the president and the first lady. In their bedroom, there are two beds with a blue blanket on top, which can fold out into sofas. By the windows, there are remote control activated shades that cover the windows with the push of a button if the president or the first lady feel like taking a nap. There is also a sitting room where the president can meet with his guests. No information is available about the workout room.

This is the president's bedroom. The couches on either side of the room can fold in to beds. Notice the white shades that are above the row of windows. They can fold down and cover the windows with the push of a button. Photo Credit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_VC-25
The President's Office
The president’s office is directly behind his quarters. If you were to enter through the door that the president enters every time he steps on to the plane, it would be directly in front of you. When you walk into the office, in the left hand corner is the president’s desk with a brown leather chair behind it. If you look to your right, there is a brown sofa stretching around the right side of the room. In the far right hand corner of the room is a tan table with a lamp, and two phones on it. There is a trash can under that table. The president’s office is where the president makes decisions for the country while he is flying.

The Video Library
There is a video library on the plane where the president can choose a movie to watch. The video library is in the president’s private quarters.
The Medical Office
The medical office is directly behind the president’s office. The medical office has an operating table and lifesaving equipment, just in case of an emergency.
The Galleys (Kitchens)
There are two main galleys (kitchens) on Air Force One. All of the meals are made here. The main Galley is directly behind the medical office. Five chefs work to keep everybody fed, making it feel like a restaurant with really nice food, napkins, plates, trays, etc. The staff records how the president likes his meals, even the coffee! There is a board on the galley’s wall that says exactly how the president likes his coffee. The plane can store enough food in it’s pantries and freezers to serve 2,000 meals. Also, the food stored on VC-25A can feed 100 people. All meals are served on a tray that bears the presidential symbol. I think that it would be awesome to have restaurant style food on an airplane. The president gets 5 star service wherever he goes!

This is a typical meal served on Air Force One! This is much better than regular airplane food. Photo Credit: http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2010/11/23/midnight-snack-on-air-force-one/
The Senior Staff Room
The senior staff room is a room directly behind the main galley with a couple of chairs where senior staff members, including the president, can talk in private.
The Conference and Dining Room
The conference room can be made into the president’s dining room. It is completely soundproof for talking about private matters, there are two flat screen TVs for presentations, several phones to talk to the ground, and an intercom system to talk to other parts of the plane. It can be made into a dining room where the president and his family eats.
