What’s The Connection Between Air Force One And Gold Medal Flour?
For one of the most important planes in
the sky, regular ol’ bargain brand aircraft cleaner simply
won’t suffice. You may have heard stories of Air Force One’s
signature shine — legend has it that it’s even possible to view
your reflection on its surface clearly enough to comb your hair (or
ghastly, hair-like mirage). It may surprise you to learn that the
cleaning agent of choice for this lucky vehicle is also a key ingredient
in, say, biscuits.
According to retired Air Force pilot Ron Wagner via Quora,
Gold Medal Flour has been utilized in the daily polishing of Air Force
One since at least the Carter administration. Anything coarser than
white flour would scratch the jet’s aluminum skin, so literal tons of
it are stored in the Special Air Missions hangar.
