The Boeing VC-137C is the designation of a United States Air Force passenger transportation aircraft, a military version of the Boeing 707. The aircraft's call sign was SAM (Special Air Mission) 27000.

Air Force One is the air traffic control call sign of any U.S. Air Force aircraft carrying the President of the United States. From 1972 to 2001, the presidential fleet consisted of this specifically configured, highly customized Boeing 707 series aircraft with Air Force designation VC-137C. While SAM 27000 was referred to as "Air Force One" only while the president was on board, the term is commonly used to describe aircraft normally used and maintained by the U.S. Air Force solely for the president.
