* Air Force One also plays a prominent role in ''Film/IndependenceDay'', helping evacuate several characters from Washington and serving as the command center for the first counterattack.

** The [[Film/IndependenceDayResurgence sequel]] briefly features Air Force One using the same hybrid technology that was salvaged from the alien ships and used for next-gen fighters.

* The British royal family used to have a royal yacht called ''Britannia'', which was retired in 1997 and is now a museum ship in Edinburgh - there have been frequent calls to create a new one. His Majesty also has the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Royal_Train Royal Train]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_transport_of_the_British_royal_family_and_government#The_King's_Helicopter_Flight King's Helicopter Flight]].

* The ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Magellan_%28railcar%29 Ferdinand Magellan]]'', also known as US Railcar No. 1. A specially modified armored observation car that served US presidents before air travel became the main means. It was also the car used in Truman's famous whistlestop campaign tour.

* ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'': The Klingon battlecruiser that carries Chancellor Gorkon to the rendezvous with the ''Enterprise'' is ''Qo'noS One'', Qo'noS being the name of the Klingon homeworld.

* Back when the [[RealLife/CoolPlane Concorde]] was operational, British Prime Ministers would occasionally use one to fly to international heads-of-government meetings. Just because they could. During UsefulNotes/TonyBlair's premiership, the British government planned to buy two private jets for ministerial use - which gave rise to the inevitable nickname "Blair Force One". These plans were scrapped by Blair's successor, UsefulNotes/GordonBrown.

* Air Force One is, of course, only the callsign for ''Air Force'' aircraft carrying the President of the United States. There is an entire array of other 'X' One callsigns based on the Air Force One concept and ready to be used, although the only one that sees regular use and has a dedicated airfleet for the task is Marine One (the Marine Corps has handled helicopter transportation for the President since 1976). A ''civilian'' aircraft carrying the President would be Executive One. There has only ever been one instance of a "Navy One"--that being an S-3 Viking that carried George W. Bush to his "Mission Accomplished" speech.

** On Auguest 9 1974, Air Force One carrying President Nixon from Washington DC to California contacted Kansas City (the air traffic control center for the area it was currently flying through) to advise them it was switching its callsign to SAM 27000, as the POTUS was no longer aboard: Gerald Ford had just been sworn into office. For this reason, when the POTUS departs the White House on an aircraft, it lands before their successor is sworn in.

** The Minbari Grey Council travels aboard a special warcruiser called the ''Valen'Tha'', which is also where they have their meetings.

* The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popemobile Popemobile]], a specially modified vehicle for transporting UsefulNotes/ThePope when he makes public appearances. The Pope sits in an elevated area, sometimes covered by bullet-proof glass, where those who come can easily see him.

The type of transport is usually a CoolPlane or a CoolStarship if it's in space, with the occasional CoolTrain thrown in. There are official ground vehicles as well, but those are more ubiquitous and shouldn't be mentioned here unless there is something that really makes it stand out.

* While not stated whether it's the official designation, the unmarked cargo plane carrying Osean president Vincent Harling in ''VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar'' has "Mother Goose One" as its callsign. Later in ''VideoGame/AceCombat7SkiesUnknown'', the [[spoiler:V-22 Osprey evacuating Harling from the space elevator]] is given the same callsign during the operation until [[spoiler:Trigger [[FalseFlagOperation seemingly]] shoots it down by accident]].
