The JetStar is an iconic jet that has flown many US Presidents. Originally designed as a private venture, the four engined light transport was also selected to fulfil a USAF requirement for multi-engines crew trainer and now remains in production today. The first version of this aircraft flew on August 18 1976 with certification following shortly after December when it became clear how successful the II would be. Over time, these planes have become legend – probably one of only two executive jets where you could fly sitting presidents! A variant called VC140B served VIP purposes within the USAF until 1979 but six still regularly fly current President Johnson’s legacy into new history books every day
