In the American movie, there is a presidential plane codenamed "Air Force One", which is luxuriously equipped, has lounges, offices, medical rooms, restaurants, combat command centers, etc., and a loyal team of national operatives, who are personally responsible for the security of the US president!
The aircraft is an improved Boeing 747 airliner, much larger than the average 747 airliner, and the interior space is wide, the driving comfort is extremely high, and it can fly more than 11,000 kilometers with only one refueling! The aircraft has the ability to refuel in the air, and after refueling in the air, it can ensure that it can stay in the sky for 72 hours.
Equipped with the world's most advanced communication encryption anti-jamming equipment, even if a nuclear war can command the operation of the country, excellent air defense system, can resist the attack of surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles. There are two aircraft like this, numbered 28,000 and 29,000, and the President of the United States travels every time he travels, both of which take off at the same time and are accompanied by aerial tankers.
Inside the cabin, there are 28 encrypted presidential lines, which can command ground forces on the aircraft through a satellite transmission system, issue instructions to NORAD and the Pentagon, and ensure that the PRESIDENT can communicate with any place!

In 2001, China officially joined the WTO and integrated with world trade. With the strengthening of national strength and the increase in foreign visits by state leaders, the relevant parties believe that China currently has the need and ability to purchase a special plane for the use of the top state leader during his overseas visits. Under the current circumstances, only when the main leaders of the country visit abroad, they are equipped with passenger aircraft provided by Air China for special aircraft.
In order to keep pace with the times, in mid-July 2000, China United Airlines signed an agreement with Avitra Aviation Services of the United States to purchase a Boeing 767-300ER aircraft in Seattle, USA. After further renovation and decoration, the aircraft will be used as the main air transportation for Chinese state leaders after the installation of VIP cabin and other facilities.
Boeing is responsible for the main body of the aircraft and the necessary electronic equipment, and the renovation of the aircraft is the responsibility of several other companies, with a total price of about $110 million to $170 million.
Design advanced wings and powerful engines, the aircraft full of fuel maximum range of more than 12,000 kilometers, carrying more than 200 passengers, take-off and sliding distance of only about 1800 meters, the first wide-body aircraft using a two-person piloting system; the first model with Boeing 757 pilot general driving qualifications; the first use of vacuum extraction of toilets; the first use of carbon fiber brakes; Boeing officials proudly told reporters: The leading aircraft sold to China is the company's latest technology crystallization.

On August 10, 2001, it was piloted by the pilot of Boeing Corporation of the United States, leaving Texas in the United States to fly to China, and officially delivered to China for use; Chinese aircraft number: B-2499. The 767 is also the only 767 Chinese mainland to use a high-grade General Electric CF6-80C26B turbofan engine.
Of course, before the central leaders enter the aircraft, the necessary security checks must be carried out, and some confidential communication equipment must also be installed to facilitate contact with the country.
When Chinese engineers tested the aircraft, they heard an unusual buzzing noise, and then checked the aircraft, and found that a total of 27 bugging devices were installed inside the aircraft! The wiretaps were all installed near the precision circuits in the decoration, 2 in the chairman's suite and 1 in the Rockwell Collins: SAT906 satellite communications equipment transmitter, where the signals could be transmitted via satellite.
The report said that these bugging devices are sophisticated in design, tiny in size, and controlled by satellite operations, which are by no means available in ordinary stores. According to the judgment: it is very likely that the CIA did it!
On January 22, 2002, Sun Yuxi, then spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, commented: "China is a peace-loving country that does not pose a threat to anyone, and it is unnecessary to eavesdrop on China." Subsequently, the Financial Times and the Washington Post of the United States also reported on the matter.
In 2005, Li Zhaoxing, then China's ambassador to the United States, was invited to speak at the National Press Club in Washington. After the speech, an American reporter asked about the eavesdropping, and Li Zhaoxing replied, "What we buy, the United States should give." We don't want anything that doesn't cost money. ”
Despite their humor, Chinese officials' ability to make big things small and small things small is enough to be pure! This can't help but remind people of the saying that weak countries have no diplomacy, like a fish in the throat, sad and lamentable!
The "special plane" is a modified and upgraded version of the Boeing series "government affairs plane" purchased from the United States, and after such a thing occurred, it also directly led to the abortion of China's "Air Force One" plan.
The "wiretap incident" became a major event that affected Sino-US relations that year, but it was not a glorious thing, because China could not produce such a passenger plane, and the Chinese Foreign Ministry adopted a low-key approach.
Although China did not issue a formal protest, since then, China has no longer purchased "government affairs planes" for national leaders, but has temporarily chartered passenger aircraft from Air China in accordance with the previous model, which can not only save maintenance costs, but also avoid the aircraft being "manipulated" when manufactured or modified!
The 767 was later transferred to Air China, and the aircraft number was changed to B-2499, undertaking ordinary civil aviation passenger duties. In May 2014, the aircraft was sold to Sunday Airlines in Uzbekistan as Air China's last Boeing 767 airliner, ending its 13-year legendary experience in China!
