Filmed 09/08/2013, The prime minister of Japan visits LAX! Check it out! Japanese Air Force One and Japanese Air Force Two are the radio call signs of the two Boeing 747 aircraft used by the government of Japan for overseas travel by the Emperor, Prime Minister and other high-ranking officials. Each aircraft has a capacity of 140 passengers and can be used for emergency evacuations of Japanese citizens and overseas deployment of Japan Self-Defense Forces personnel. The aircraft are officially referred to as dedicated Japanese government aircraft (日本国政府専用機 Nippon-koku seifu sen'yōki?) and have the call signs Cygnus One and Cygnus Two when operating outside of official business (e.g., on training flights).[2] The aircraft always fly together on government missions, with one serving as the primary transport and the other serving as a backup with maintenance personnel on board.[3] The aircraft use the same General Electric CF6-80C2 turbofan engines fitted to the Boeing VC-25 aircraft used by the USAF as executive transports.
