Working on Air Force One, sort of

KINGSPORT, Tenn. (AP) - July 25, 2011

He's working on a presidential ride.

No, it's not the armored limo that carries the president.

Wilson is part of a 35-member team of the nation's top detailers working on the former Air Force One.

The custom Boeing 707 was taken out of service in 1996 and is now part of the Museum of Flight collection in Seattle.

The detailers will restore everything from the cockpit to the bathrooms.

Wilson tells the Kingsport Times-News he never dreamed he would have an opportunity like working on Air Force One.
