Coast Guard One

Coast Guard One is the official transport of the President of Arcacia. It is on permanent stand-by at Providence International Airport, ready to fly the President anywhere in the world, though it is mostly used for flights within the Asia/Pacific region. The ex-airline Boeing 737-400 with a cruising speed of Mach .74, a service ceiling of 37,000 feet and a range of 2,270 nautical miles, the jet is capable of flying the President as far as South-East Asia without needing to stop. It makes stops on longer flights, with crews changing every 8 flying hours.

The aircraft has a secure broadband satellite internet connection and secure phone line, both of which are encrypted and allow the President to effectively run the country from the air. It is, in effect, an extension of the Executive Office.

The front cabin is like first class on an airline with 20 large, comfortable seats. The mid-section is a meeting and conference room, allowing face-to-face meetings between the President and their cabinet. The back section of the plane contains 4 bedrooms. The 2 larger ones at the very rear are reserved for the President (port) and Vice President (starboard), with the remaining 2 for the Captain(s) (port) and First Officer(s) (starboard) to allow crew rotation on longer flights. The seats in the forward cabin all have 180º recline, converting into sleeping berths.

ooo...Fancy! Nice Plane!!! And Amazing layout on the plane map!

Ahh... Named after the coast guard as Arcacia has no air force

It is indeed operated by the Coast Guard.

Very snazzy Daniel. Although the idea of it being based on Air Force One, seems a little clichéd, I like the Coast Guard addition, which symbolises Arcacia's lack of military... muscle.

Wow.. even a small nation such as Arcacia has a fancy Coast Guard one..
and nice photoshopping btw..

Stick it up your jumper.


Dryan - I don't use photoshop. I don't even have photoshop.

From my experience in the SC4 community, "photoshopping" usually means generic photo editing, no matter what program is actually used.

An ex-airline plane? How safe is it? I think Arcacia has enough money to buy a new plane...

It used to belong to Australian Airlines. It was built in 1997. It's fine.

Nice, pure Paint Legit?

Btw, why do every presidential planes are with a "one" at the end? Why not: THE plane or something

*sudden Fantasy Island flashback*

"The plane! The plane!"

Wait.. so is that, mm.. Paint? (windows 7's pain't)

Yeah, MS Paint. Windows Vista. Actually, I use a combination of programmes to get the result I want. Paint is really good for compiling the finished product and some simple edits, but I also use Gimp and Irfan for more complex edits or functions that Paint either doesn't have or does poorly.

You really like the 737-400.

What happened to the other jet you had?

It's that, or the 747

The Falcon was too small. Way too small.
