Though [[Ronald Reagan]]'s two terms as president saw no major changes to Air Force One, the manufacture of the presidential aircraft version of the [[Boeing 747|747]] began during his presidency. The USAF issued a [[request for proposal]] in 1985 for two wide-body aircraft with a minimum of three engines and an unrefueled range of {{cvt|6000|mile}}. Boeing with the 747 and McDonnell Douglas with the [[McDonnell Douglas DC-10|DC-10]] submitted proposals, and the [[Reagan Administration]] ordered two identical 747s to replace the aging 707 VC-137 variants he used.<ref name=preptjb/><ref name="747-dod">Williams, Rudi.
