Atlas Air trains Obama pilots
Flight crews on Air Force One, President Barack Obama's official plane, will receive training through 2010 from air cargo specialist Atlas Air.
The company announced that the U.S. Air Force has extended its contract to train the service's Boeing 747 pilots and engineers.
Crews from the Presidential Airlift Group, which includes planes that fly the vice president and other officials and dignitaries, and the E-4B National Airborne Operations Center will receive refresher courses at Atlas' training facility in Miami.
Atlas and sister company Polar Air Cargo operate the world's largest combined fleet of Boeing 747 freighters.
