Description
The "Chief" goes supersonic!The VC-711 Cruiser One [link] in United State Air Force VIP/VVIP Transport livery and marking.
The VC-711 replaced the VC-25 (yeah...I wish!) as Air Force One, the callsign of any U.S. Air Force aircraft carrying the President of the United States.
The aircraft can also be operated as a military command center along side with ER-70 Guardian Angel [link] in the event of an incident such as a nuclear attack. Operational modifications include aerial refueling capability and anti-aircraft missile countermeasures.
The aircraft also have electronic countermeasures (ECMs) to jam enemy radar, flares to avoid heat-seeking missiles, and chaff to avoid radar-guided missiles. If those defensive features doesn't works against incoming missiles, its powerful engines can out maneuver them and dash in beyond supersonic speed.
Many of the VC-711 other capabilities are classified for security reasons.

Nice profile.
I'm going to put a pointer to this in the web site What-if modelmakers if you don't mind. Lots of profilers from DA hang out there. Some of these also can wind up as plastic models after a procrastinating.

Yes, thanks for the thrust vectored engine nozzles and supersonic speed capability, but not highly recommended. Only for emergency evasive action.
