No other mode of transportation for government executives is as well-known as Air Force One; most nations, even industrialized ones, do not maintain a separate aircraft for heads of state and government, although most have a military "VIP fleet" that provides aircraft when senior government officials must travel. Air Force One - Argentina. Argentina operates a small fleet of aircraft and helicopters for the use of the President, his family and senior government officials. This group is known as Agrupaci ...

The planes that serve as Air Force One differ from the standard Boeing 747 in size, features, and security precautions. While Air Force One has three floors, like a regular Boeing 747, its interior has been reconfigured for presidential duties. The planes' 4,000 square feet (370 m²) of interior floor space include multiple modifications. The planes' lowest levels are mostly cargo space, carrying luggage and the plane's food supply. The food can supply up to 2,000 meals when fully loaded, some of which is stored in freezers. Meals are prepared in two galleys, which ...

The movie revolves around the plan of a group of Russian Nationalists to hijack the presidential aircraft (Air Force One) and use the President, his family and other hostages as bargaining chips in the terrorists' demand for the release of their comrade, an imprisoned general whom they believe can restore Russia to glory. The story develops as the President, largely single-handedly, takes control of the plane back from the terrorists. To make the action story plausible, the President is explained to have had a rigorous military bac ...

Even more rare than series cancelled after a single showing are series cancelled before a single episode is broadcast. Not counting pilot films, which do not always result in a series pick-up, there have been occasions in which a network has announced the debut of a new series only to cancel the series before broadcast. One such example is Manchester Prep, a series based upon the film Cruel Intentions that was commissioned by the Fox network and advertised as a new series, but, perhaps due to its controversial subject ma ...

Street preaching frequently takes on a form of protest at public gatherings. Among today's best known practitioners of preaching-as-protest are Operation Rescue, Westboro Baptist Church (Topeka), and Bob Enyart. The tactics of these groups range from peaceful civil disobedience to flamboyant taunting of their opponents. Many street preachers also hand out tracts or leaflets to passersby. Invariably, many of the tracts are quickly discarded, and this ha ...

Development of the Igla short-range man-portable air defence missile (MANPADS) began in the Kolomna OKB in 1971. Contrary to what is commonly reported, the Igla is not an improved version of the earlier Strela family (Strela-2/SA-7 and Strela-3/SA-14), but an all new project. The main goals were to create a missile with better resistance to countermeasures and wider engagement envelope than the earlier Strela series MANPADS systems. Technical difficulties in the development quickly made it obvious that the development would take far l ...

BSA was founded in 1861 in the Gun Quarter, Birmingham by fourteen gunsmiths of the Birmingham Small Arms Trade Association, England, who had together supplied arms to the British government during the Crimean War.

Their first prototype automobile was produced in 1907 and the next year the company sold 150 automobiles. By 1909 they were offering a number of motorcycles for sale and in 1910 BSA purchase ...
