Talk:Air Force One

Inconsistency

The article says in section "Boeing 707s and entry to jet age":

"Toward the end of Eisenhower's second term, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles commented that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and other senior Soviet officials had begun using the technologically advanced Tupolev Tu-114 aircraft for their travels, and it was no longer dignified for the president to fly in a propeller-driven aircraft."

In this form the argument makes no sense because the Tu-114 is a propeller plane (and this was also the case for the one Khrushchev used). 83.93.38.219 (talk) 20:11, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Mark Tillman Notability

Opening this for discussion, I think Mark Tillman clearly meets standards for notability for his own page due to role on 9/11 and long time service as Air Force one pilot. Does anyone have a strong opinion as to why he shouldn’t have his own page? Nathanproton (talk) 01:22, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Date format

@Fnlayson: I would think it would be day-month-year military format. - FlightTime (open channel) 18:01, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

I was going by the rest of the section I was editing ("Boeing 747-8 from the royal family of Qatar") then. The article has a "Use dmy dates" tag at the top. So a bot should fix them or editors can if the bot does not. -Fnlayson (talk) 19:46, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

I ran a script, all dates are fixed :) - FlightTime (open channel) 20:52, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Image caption detail

Pinging @Snake bgd since we're apparently edit warring instead of applying BRD...

I fail to see the need for such excessive detail inside an image caption. That sort of detail has a place in the article text by all means - but that's just bloating what should be a caption describing the image. Danners430 _{tweaks made} 13:45, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
