The primary means of long-distance air travel for the vice president is one of two identical Boeing airplanes, which are extensively modified [[Boeing 757]] airliners and are referred to as ''[[Air Force Two]],'' while the vice president is on board. Any [[United States Air Force|U.S. Air Force]] aircraft the vice president is aboard is referred to as "Air Force Two" for the duration of the flight. In-country trips are typically handled with just one of the two planes, while overseas trips are handled with both, one primary and one backup.

For short-distance air travel, the vice president has access to a fleet of [[United States Marine Corps|U.S. Marine Corps]] helicopters of varying models including ''[[Marine One|Marine Two]]'' when the vice president is aboard any particular one in the fleet. Flights are typically handled with as many as five helicopters all flying together and frequently swapping positions as to disguise which helicopter the vice president is actually aboard to any would-be threats.
