This picture has a caption with it as follows, :A-10's are not built, they are born" This is my favorite plane to watch take off and land on a windy day. The nose cone and tail open up and it has a "kneeling" system that allows the plane to become lower to easily load and unload rolling cargo. https://www.fighterjetz.com/d/635-6/a10-transported-by-c5-galaxy-aircraft.jpg

there is also 2 Air Force 1's while flying. Though one is ahead of the other or they fly at different altitudes. used to confuse other pilots around. Same thing with Marine 1 and Marine 2. no one knows which is the President's plane/helicopter. cool eh?
