#ObamaInKL: APAKAH RAHSIA YANG ADA PADA PESAWAT AIR FORCE ONE YANG DINAIKI @BarackObama? #MH370

SELAMAT DATANG KE MALAYSIA BARACK OBAMA!!

Air Force One: It is America's plane, a national icon and the most secure aircraft in the world. Now, journey aboard, as the members of the Presidential Airlift Group fly this specially modified 747 in a time of global uncertainty, following September 11th, 2001. The events of 9/11 thrust Air Force One's crew into a day of terror that none could have predicted. Crewmembers stationed at every corner of the jet recall the urgency of shepherding the President on an emergency flight over America's heartland. Seven years later, preparations are now underway for a diplomatic mission of historic significance and scope: an eight-day tour through six countries in the Middle East. This journey summons recollections of another high-stakes mission to the region, one set in the heart of conflict - the President's secret flight into Baghdad, Thanksgiving Day, 2003. Following a steep, corkscrew descent, their landing into Iraq was unannounced and unexpected. Now, each member of the PAG, from maintenance and engineering to the flight crew and presidential security detachment, must be ready for a highly publicized trip. - SOURCE

Air Force One

Air Force One is the designation of any airplane that serves the President of the United States government. The same planes are used by the vice-president but are called Air Force Two when he is aboard. The presidential fleet consists of two customized Boeing 747-200B aircraft (military designation VC-25A) called SAM 28000 and 29000.

The name Air Force One was established after an incident in 1953, when Eastern Airlines flight 8610 crossed paths with the president's plane, then called Air Force 8610, although the Air Force One name was not made official until 1962.

History

Guess Where II and Sacred Cow

The first aircraft configured for presidential use was a C-87A (Liberator Express) called Guess Where II, but concerns about the C-87 safety record relegated it to use by senior members of the White House staff, including First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt on her goodwill tour of Latin America.

In its place, a Douglas C-54 Skymaster (VC-54C) was configured for the president and nicknamed Sacred Cow. It had a sleeping area, radio telephone, and an elevator to raise President Franklin Roosevelt into it in his wheelchair (but FDR used the plane only once). This airplane is now housed at the National Museum of the United States Air Force.
Independence

In 1947, President Truman replaced the Sacred Cow with a Douglas DC-6 Liftmaster (VC-118) named Independence after his hometown. Its nose was painted to look like a bald eagle. Its aft fuselage was converted into a stateroom. And the main cabin could seat 24 passengers or could be made up into 12 sleeper berths. This airplane is now housed at the National Museum of the United States Air Force.
Columbine II and III and Aero Commanders

In addition to the Independence, Eisenhower used two Lockheed C-121 Super Constellations (VC-121E) called Columbine IIand Columbine III and two small Aero Commanders.
Special Air Mission 970, 971, and 972

In 1958, Eisenhower added three additional aircraft into the executive branch service. These were Boeing 707 (VC-137) aircraft designated SAM 970, 971, and 972. These were the first presidential jet aircraft.
Special Air Mission 26000 and 27000

During the Kennedy administration, SAM 26000, a Boeing 707 (VC-137) went into presidential service. Influential industrial designer Raymond Loewy designed the new livery (the exterior color scheme) and the interiors. President Johnson took the oath of office on board SAM 26000, and the airplane continued to serve presidents up to Bill Clinton until 1998. It was replaced as the primary executive aircraft in 1972 by SAM 27000, another VC-137, which served until 2001. This airplane is now housed at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum.
Special Air Mission 28000 and 29000

In 1990, the two Boeing 747 (VC-25A) aircraft used today were delivered (having been ordered by Ronald Reagan). The same livery was used, but the interiors were selected by Mrs. Reagan.

A new Air Force One is scheduled to go into service in 2017. The likely candidates are a Boeing 747-8 and a Boeing 787.

SALAM PERKENALAN KEPADA MANJONG MARI. JANGAN JADI MACAM BUDAK-BUDAK.

Menjawab entri dari blogger Manjong Mari betajuk  Siapa Datuk Shamsul Anuar Nasarah nak arahkan Tuk Guru Nik Abdul Aziz.. :

Entri ini diterbitkan bukan kerana mahu jilat dan kipas para pemimpin, tapi atas niat membetulkan semula kenyataan yang dikeluarkannya. Saya tak nafikan ada betulnya dengan apa yang ditulisnya seperti dibawah:

#ShamsulAnuar4MT

MANJONG MARI (25 September 2013): 

bangga dengan Obama Presdien Amerika, yang boleh aku kategorikan sebagai kafir harbi,, apa tak nya, berapa ramai umat Islam terbunuh akibat dari tangan-tangan tentera Amerika,, 

Alih-aluh,, ada mamat pekak badak boleh berbangga dengan Obama,,, 

malang orang Lenggung dapat Ahli parlimen bodo piang...
nak tanya buat kepada orang-orang Umno dan yang sewaktu dengannya, termasuk Juragan 69,, 

Apa bezanya Chin Peng dengan Barrack Obama... ?

Mungkin kita berbeza pendapat dan haluan. Tapi, persamaan kita ialah staus, iaitu rakyat Malaysia. Apa yang saya mahu majukan disini ialah saya sama sekali TIDAK SETUJU dengan penulisannya seperti diatas. Dia hanya mengolah kenyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh Ahli Parlimen Lenggong, Datuk Shamsul Anuar Nasarah secara menyeluruh. Terbuktilah bahawa blogger otai ini tidak berfikiran terbuka. Jika dibandingkan semula dengan kenyataan YB seperti dibawah:

Berita yang dipetik dari ANTARAPOS (24 September 2013)

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat perlu akur kepada kejayaan Perdana Menteri yang berjaya membuatkan Presiden Amerika Syarikat Barack Obama mahu mengunjungi Malaysia pada 11 dan 12 Oktober depan. 

Ahli Parlimen Lenggong, Datuk Shamsul Anuar Nasarah berkata kunjungan Obama itu sekaligus menzahirkan satu pengiktirafan pentadbiran Datuk Seri Najib Razak oleh negara luar terhadap Malaysia. 

"Ini menunjukkan Barack Obama mengiktiraf negara kita, mengiktiraf negara kita dari pelbagai aspek, sebab itu jangan kita lihat dia dari satu sudut sahaja. 

"Kita perlu lihat penghormatan sebuah kuasa besar dunia kepada kita dan sebab itu Barack Obama datang ke Malaysia, kalau kita tengok dari segi sejarahnya berapa ramai presiden-presiden Amerika yang pernah datang ke negara kita?  

"Jadi sebab itu kalau kita tengok YAB Datuk Seri Najib mengepalai negara kita, ramai tokoh-tokoh besar antaranya dari China dan India kunjung ke Malaysia dan ini sebenarnya adalah satu bentuk pengiktirafan," katanya ketika ditemui di lobi Parlimen tadi. 

Malah beliau meminta Nik Aziz berfikiran terbuka dan tidak terlalu sinis terhadap apa jua yang dibuat oleh kerajaan termasuk apabila menerima kunjungan daripada pemimpin negara luar. 

"Saya rasa kita perlu lihat lebih kepada banyak aspek, yang hadir ke Malaysia ini adalah pemimpin penting di dunia, bukan saja kedatangan mereka penting dari segi hubungan politik tetapi ekonomi juga. 

"Sebab itu apabila kehadiran Obama ke Malaysia, dia membantu kita dan memberi kelebihan kepada kita dalam pelbagai aspek walaupun kita tidak bergantung kepada Amerika 100 peratus," katanya. 

Terdahulu Nik Aziz menyifatkan kedatangan Presiden Amerika itu ke Malaysia bukanlah satu kebanggaan buat rakyat negara ini. 

Sebaliknya kunjungan Obama ke Malaysia hanyalah dianggap sebagai lambang kerjasama yang telah terjalin sejak sekian lama antara kedua-dua negara tersebut. 

"Tiada yang membanggakan jika Malaysia dikunjungi Presiden Amerika kerana ia hanyalah mengesahkan hubungan baik antara kedua-duanya yang telah terjalin sekian lama. 

"Kunjungan tersebut juga hanyalah tanda terima kasih Amerika Syarikat kepada Malaysia yang selama ini menyokong pendirian Amerika dalam pelbagai isu antarabangsa termasuk dalam isu rampasan kuasa tentera di Mesir yang mana Malaysia hanya sanggup menyatakan tidak setuju dengan kadar yang paling minimum sahaja," katanya menerusi laman Facebook semalam.

Jika dinilai dari sudut nasionalisme dan patriotime, kita sebagai rakyat Malaysia sepatutnya berbangga dengan lawatan Presiden Amerika Syarikat ini ke negara kita. Bukan semua negara mampu menerima pengiktirafan seperti ini. Terima kasih kepada Perdana Menteri kita, DS Najib Razak atas kejayaan sepanjang pemerintahannya.

Patut lah negeri yang dipimpin pembangkang semuanya tidak maju dan penyokongnya pula hanya berfikiran sempit.

SUPRISE!! OBAMA AKAN JADI TETAMU JEMPUTAN #PemilihanUMNO OKTOBER NANTI?

The White House today confirmed that US President Barack Obama will visit Malaysia and several other Southeast Asian economies including Indonesia, Brunei and the Philippines from October 6-12 as part of his ongoing commitment to increase America's political, economic and security engagements in the Asia-Pacific region.

According to a statement issued by the Office of the Press Secretary at The White House, the President will meet with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak during his visit to Kuala Lumpur to highlight Washington's growing bilateral ties with Malaysia.

He will also deliver the keynote address at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit to be held here from October 11-12.

Now in its fourth year, the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) is an initiative the President announced in 2009 to spur job creation through entrepreneurship by connecting young innovators to resources, ideas and each other.

Before coming to Malaysia, he will be in Indonesia to attend the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting.

APEC is the region's leading forum for trade and investment integration.

The statement said Obama would also host a series of meetings on the sidelines of the APEC meeting.

The President will host a meeting of Leaders of the Trans-Pacific Partnership countries, which comprises 12 negotiating economies, including Malaysia.

He will also meet with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to reaffirm US' close bilateral ties and celebrate the third year of their Comprehensive Partnership.

The President will then travel to Brunei for the US-ASEAN Summit and the East Asia Summit (EAS) and to meet with the Sultan of Brunei.

ASEAN and the EAS are key forums for regional multilateral cooperation.

During the meetings, the President will discuss the wide range of US cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region, including energy, maritime security, investment, development and trade promotion, as well as other topics of regional and global concern.

The President will then travel to the Philippines, the fifth Asian treaty ally he has visited during his presidency.

"He will meet with President (Benigno) Aquino to reaffirm the strong economic, people-to-people and security links between our two countries," the statement added. - BERNAMA
