It wasn't empty. The call sign was Air Force One, I think that they use that when the President is on board.

With its fuel tanks topped off, Air Force One needs at least 10,800 feet of runway for its takeoff. Runway 6R is 10,885 ft long. Considering its range it was only a short distance, the tanks were probably not full.

Looked like a normal take off for a Boeing 747-200 especially since it's probably light compared to a regular passenger version.

It gives me the goose bumps and with tears in my eyes. Because I spent a couple of weeks working UNKNOWINGLY during the final production of Air Force One. In the late 80's. Boeing had listed this aircraft as one of the Middle East kings airplanes for safety reasons. At the same time, the media came out with the news that Boeing will be building Air Force One in the future.Later we found out these planes were done the day they were leaving the manufacturer airport for Texas. It was until these particular planes were airborne on the way to Texas. We were told that the Air Force One planes were done n gone out of the factory. I was so proud of Boeing n myself for doing a patriotic job well done. Then in the 90' as a Reservist officer I happened to be on the flight line at a military base. I got sectioned to go to service the radar on Air Force One as I was landing. It was a last minute just as the plane landed. The joy n glory of my life to serve.

Absolutely awesome!. I just took off from LAX Tue. On the way back to Houston. Weather was rainy & stormy & windy but pilots were experienced! Airforce one's take off is stunning. We left @ 5:15pm & arrived in Houston @11:00pm. Got a chance to speak with both pilots to thank them. On United. I say it again. That's a Big iron Bird! Big baby!

Kevin you absolutely nailed it! You are a master at your craft. AVL SME 🤩

Breathtaking is the word! Wow just Wow! You make so many people happy, Kevin! Thanks as always!

Wow, what a beautiful sight!🥰

Such a smooth gentle takeoff with minimal pitch.

AWESOME‼️

Simply awesome takeoff. Thanks for the upload, saw it live!

strong TW and up in 4k feet...insane

Great job tracking and holding frame, Kevin!! 🔥

That was a cool and very noticeable yaw back into the strong southeast winds after pilot released the left rudder they were holding to counteract the crosswind during the takeoff roll and subsequent rotation. Great capture as always, Kevin.

That design and color scheme, with the polished aluminum parts, cannot be improved upon!

It's a clean machine....

This was just beautiful I have flown so many times but never seen or felt pilots doing this good of a job.

It even set off a few car alarms. Wowzer

AVL with the best view from taxing to take off.

I was a ramp agent at Sky Harbour Airport in Phoenix during the Bush 2 administration. It was always a trip watching Air Force One land and departing the airport. It was also great to be able to see the aircraft parked on the tarmac. AF1 is a beautiful jet. I don't understand the physics of aerodynamics but the way an aircraft that size can take off so quickly is amazing . It's like the engines start and you blink and it's off the ground. Amazing.

So so cool

AIR FORCE ONE IS NO JOKE. WHAT A MASSIVE BEAUTY. SEEING THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME. THANK YOU

Fabulous !!! the most beautiful aircraft on the planet ❤🇺🇸

Good work! Seeing the belly of this gracious beast as she roared by put me into a nostalgic trance, remembering times on Sandpiper hill as the Queens made their way into the skies and over the Pacific. .

Well regardless of who is on board……I feel tons of pride to see Airforce 1 take off! She is beautiful!
