Take a look at the place where Joe Biden and many other presidents spent their free time during long trips.
Although many presidents have used planes to travel to various countries, many of those planes were not specifically designed to transport a president and his entourage.

The current design of the plane was first used during John F. Kennedy’s presidency.
The specially configured Boeing 747-200B also features a wide range of amenities that you would never find on board a commercial airliner.
Air Force One has two entrances at the front and rear of the aircraft, reports CBS.
While the president, his family and other important visitors use the front entrance, the back entrance is usually reserved for journalists.
One of the most important features of the plane is the president’s office.
The office, located near the front of the plane, functions as a mobile White House and has been completely renovated to allow the president to communicate with the nation whenever necessary.
According to the report, there is also a fully stocked medical bay with an in-house nurse near the office.
The plane also has a very cozy bedroom for the president, located right at the front of the plane.
CBS reports that the suite has fold-out sofas and a private bathroom.
The southwestern decor theme seen here was supposedly designed by Nancy Reagan.
Air Force One’s room became a talking point after Biden, 81, reportedly said Democratic governors in a meeting that he I needed more sleep and work fewer hours.
Biden made disturbing comments Wednesday during a meeting with more than two dozen of his prominent supporters, according to The New York Times.
During the meeting, Biden detailed his extensive foreign travel schedule in the weeks leading up to the presidential debate.
At one point, Hawaii Governor Josh Greeh asked him about his health, to which Biden responded that he was fine.

“It’s just my brain,” Biden said, which some meeting attendees took lightly, according to the outlet.
A spokesperson for the Biden-Harris campaign supported the president’s efforts to achieve a better sleep schedule.
“President [George W.] Bush went to bed at 9, President [Barack] Obama had dinner at 6:30 p.m.,” the spokesman told The New York Times.
“Normal presidents find a balance, and so does Joe Biden.”
“Hardly the same rigor as Donald Trump, who spends half his day complaining on Truth Social about plans that would cause a recession and the other half playing golf,” he said.
Biden’s latest remarks only fueled the concerns of supporters, who called on him to abandon his re-election efforts for the good of the country.
