About the 747-8…
The Boeing 747-8 is the final series of the large, long-range wide-body airliners in the Boeing 747 family from Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The 747-8 is the largest variant of the 747 and Boeing's largest aircraft. After introducing the 747-400, Boeing considered larger 747 versions as alternatives to the proposed double-deck Airbus A3XX, later developed as the Airbus A380. The stretched 747 Advanced was launched as the 747-8 on November 14, 2005, for a market forecast of 300 aircraft using engines and other technology from the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The first 747-8F Freighter performed its maiden flight on February 8, 2010, and the passenger 747-8I Intercontinental followed suit on March 20, 2011. The cargo version was first delivered in October 2011 and the airliner began commercial service in June 2012.
Its fuselage is stretched by 18 feet (5.5 m) to 250 feet (76 m), making it the longest airliner until the 777X, which first flew in 2020. While keeping its basic structure and sweep, the wing is thicker and deeper, holding more fuel, and wider with raked wingtips. Powered more efficiently than preceding 747s by a smaller version of the General Electric GEnx turbofan from the 787 Dreamliner, its maximum take-off weight (MTOW) grew to 975,000 pounds (442 t), the heaviest Boeing airliner. The Freighter version has a shorter upper deck and can haul 308,000 pounds (140 t) over 4,120 nautical miles [nmi] (7,630 km; 4,740 mi). The Intercontinental version can carry 467 passengers in a typical three-class configuration over 7,790 nautical miles (14,430 km; 8,960 mi). A total of 155 aircraft were built including 107 freighters and 48 passenger airliners. The final aircraft, a 747-8F, was delivered to Atlas Air on January 31, 2023.

Information About “Code One”…
The ROKAF’s “Code One” is the presidential aircraft of South (Republic of) Korea. It is a modified version of the 747-8I, retrofitted with custom interiors, advanced communications and defense systems, including radar-signal jammers and flares to defend against heat-seeking missiles.
An excerpt from the Wikipedia page for Code One states:
(The Wikipedia page in question:)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_One
“Code One is the name of the Republic of Korea Air Force aircraft which carries the President of South Korea. The current aircraft is a specially upgraded Boeing 747-8I leased from Korean Air.”
Their specific aircraft had its first flight on 28/4/2017, is currently 7.6 years old, and was tested at Everett’s Paine Field (PAE/KPAE), with the test registration of N5509S.
The aircraft had been in service with the following airlines:
- Korean Air, from 23/5/2017 - 24/2/2021, with the registration HL7643
- Government of South Korea (Operated by the ROKAF), from 8/12/2021 - 21/6/2022, with the registration HL7643
- Government of South Korea (Operated by the ROKAF), since 21/6/2022, with the registration 22001.
Code One should still continue to carry the ROK’s president (Yoon Suk Yeol, currently.) to this day.
