The United States Air Force uses the Gulfstream III military jet aircraft. These jets are intended to carry the President and Commander in Chief during a conflict or war. Air Force One is the name of the aircraft when the president is aboard. The aircraft usually lands at an airbase within one hour of the President's position. If the crisis is very serious, the aircraft will drop off President Obama at a ground command point.
The Gulfstream is a large aircraft, but it isn't the biggest. It is also not the most expensive. It is however not the most expensive. In case of emergency, the plane must be capable of rescuing its crew. A large press briefing room and showers are required, as are anti-missile systems and satellite communication systems. There are also requirements for security, including self-defense electronics and a jamming system.
In the event of a conflict, the air force is looking to have large aircraft manufactured in the United States. C-5s are included, as well as C-20Cs. Initially, only two of these aircraft were expected to be procured. However, a study conducted in August 1993 concluded that the USAF may exercise its option to acquire half of the 120 available.
The air force initially worried that a commercial airline wouldn't be able to transport the president. However, the aircraft were ultimately given to the Air Force Reserve (AFR) and the Air National Guard. A number of these aircraft were transferred to the Air Force System Command (US Forest Service) in the following years. Many of these aircraft are now presidential transports.
The aircraft used to be known as C-20Cs up until recent times. During this time, the aircraft were registered to the Department of the Air Force, Washington, DC as N770GA. On April 29, 2010, the aircraft transferred to AMARC, Boeing Cecil Field, Jacksonville, FL. The aircraft was then reregistered under the QF-16C drone designation.
The aircraft are equipped with an antenna that extends to eight kilometers. This antenna can also be used to communicate directly with submarines. Some of the aircraft are also equipped with high-frequency radio communications antennas. Communications gear includes 85 telephones with different antennas and a jamming mechanism to protect the aircraft's from anti-aircraft weapons.
Before the Gulfstream III was introduced, the aircraft was originally called the C-17. The name C-17 comes from the famous C-17 Globemaster II, built and flown at the United States Army Air Forces. This aircraft flew for the first time in 1949. The C-17 was eventually named Spirit of Charleston.
The aircraft's main cabin is pressurized and has a nearly square cross section. There are seven lavatories and a medical aid station. The freezer can hold 1,000 Ib (454kg). To allow parachute drop, the ramp can be lower while you are flying. Most of the aircraft is aluminum alloy, but a number of them are made of composites. Composites will be used for the landing-gear sponsons and control surfaces as well as landing-gear doors and landing-gear windows.
FAQ
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is full secret societies. Some are cult-like groups where members follow strict rules and rituals, while others are simply clubs for those who share common interests.
However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. These include the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), the organization that sets film ratings and RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America), the company that sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.
The fact is that regardless of how secretive any group may be, someone somewhere knows exactly who they are. However, we shouldn't fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they help us make better choices.
They tell us what movies will likely succeed, what songs will be popular, and what books will best sell.
In short, they help us decide what we'll buy, watch, read, and listen to.
We can trust them and can disregard their advice if it is not in line with our preferences.
They become more powerful because we choose to ignore them. They become the ultimate arbiters of taste.
And if you don't like what they say, you're free to ignore them.
Let's now take a look into some lesser-known but very real Hollywood secret societies.
You'll see why they are so important.
What is the most surprising fact about your body?
Two eyes, two ears, 2 nostrils, 4 limbs, 1 nose, 1 penis and one mouth are all there. That's right, we have more than 50 parts of our bodies, but one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump, which circulates blood throughout our bodies. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
Each minute, the heart pumps approximately 5 liters. This is equivalent to a person drinking 2-3 cups coffee daily.
The blood flows throughout the heart 24/7, 365 days a calendar. When you're asleep, your heart beats approximately 100 times per hour.
Color of your skin is a good indicator of whether someone is healthy. You can see tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, when you look closely at the skin. These vessels carry blood back to the heart from the large blood vessels beneath the skin. The skin turns purple or blue when there is a blockage in blood flow.
People suffering from sickle cell disease have no red blood cells. Their blood becomes very sticky and hardened, leading to serious illness.
If you cut yourself, a bandage is applied to stop the bleeding. The wound must remain open for blood to flow properly. Doctors place a needle in the wound and insert it through the skin. This allows the blood to drain from the injured area.
A doctor can also insert tubes (catheters), into an artery in the vicinity of where blood clots form. This keeps the patient occupied until the clot is broken down naturally.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist.
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But the list isn't made public. As far as we know, the names aren't even known. Here's why this matters.
The secret reason is that directors and actors who are on the blacklist would not be able to find employment. So they'd go out of business, which means that the studios would lose money. This would mean that they would cut back on movie production. That would reduce the opportunities for blacklisted filmmakers. This would make them bankrupt.
This could eventually lead to more victims.
When someone tries making an Oscar winning movie they might be asked for a contract. This means that they can't publicly criticize their employer. Any director or producer who would like to be nominated for an award is subject to the same rules.
This is why you'll hear about directors being pressured by producers to take scenes out of their films. Directors threaten to abandon projects that don’t conform to their vision.
This is why Hollywood has created a blacklist. If you speak negatively about your employer, you will likely be fired. And that's not good for anyone.
Problem is, many people have been falsely charged. These people have had to fight to clear their names.
This kind of thing must stop before it can happen again. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the Hollywood blacklist.
Why are actors blacklisted?
When you're an actor, there's more rejection than when you're a writer. Actors are likely to be rejected often. You will find someone who loves and accepts you eventually.
Actors are typically very talented and can earn a living virtually anywhere. Actors aren't always interested in making a living. Actors love acting, and love telling stories. Actors are likely to be outspoken.
Sometimes you may be told by the audition panel that you are too young, too old, or wrong for the role. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. That happens a lot.
Once you've been cast you might also be subject to criticism. Some people will say that you look awful or shouldn't wear makeup. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes you'll be criticized because you're playing a character that isn't realistic or authentic. You could be a gay actor and everyone assumes you are straight. You might play a tough woman, but she is very emotional.
Sometimes, they ask you to change your voice. Sometimes, they will ask you to sound more like a woman or a man. Most times, though, they want you to sound better.
These criticisms should be ignored. Actors often feel like they've failed if they're told they did something wrong. However, they aren't doing anything wrong.
They didn't have the talent to make them famous. And sometimes, no matter how hard they try, they don't fit the bill.
There are many reasons an actor might be blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Others feel that actors are lazy. Others still believe that actors cheat.
No matter what the reason, you won't be blacklisted if your persistence persists. There are many jobs out there and you'll be able to find them.
If you persevere, you will eventually succeed.
