United States of America First Lady Melania Trump arrived in Kenya aboard a huge plane that touched down at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) Thursday evening.
Not many people are conversant with details about the plane that resembles the iconic Air Force One in many respects except its size.
It is smaller compared to the humongous Air Force One which carries the president of the United States whenever he embarks on long-distance travels within and outside the US.
The plane is a Boeing C-32 and was first deployed in June, 1998.
It usually carries the first lady, the vice- president and cabinet ministers.
Here are specification details about the plane:
It has a length of one hundred and fifty-five feet and three inches.
Its height is forty-four feet and six inches.
It has a speed of five hundred and thirty miles per hour.
Its wingspan is one hundred and twenty-four feet and eight inches.
It runs on two Pratt and Whitney 2040 engines.
Its maximum takeoff weight is two hundred and fifty-five thousand pounds.
