Air Force One Steward To The Presidents

Chuck Zimmerman

At the NAAA convention welcome breakfast we got an inside look at what it’s like on Air Force One. Our speaker was Howie Franklin, 18 year steward of the President’s plane. He served under five Presidents and has hundreds of stories.

I spoke with Howie after his presentation and got him to share one story that includes a situation he had to deal with on one flight that had 3 Presidents involved (past/present). You’ll enjoy him as I did. He also comments on how enjoyable it is to speak with the agricultural pilots gathered here for the convention. You can listen to my interview with Howie here: Howie Franklin Interview
