Trivia

The pilot episode "Yankee White" reused the Air Force One sets from Air Force One. This is alluded to in the episode as an in-joke, when Agent Gibbs walks around the set pointing out to Agent Todd that the layout of Air Force One is exactly the same as in the movie of the same name. See more »

Goofs

Shouldn't F.B.I. agent Fornell recognize "Gibbs" aboard the plane formerly designated "Airforce One"? After-all, according to a later episode, he is married to one of Jethro's ex-wives. See more »

Quotes

Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [to Fornell before slamming closed the hatch of Air Force One] Sorry, we, uh, overbooked the flight.

Best Way to Kick Off A Hit Show!
20 January 2013 | by (Seymour Tennessee) – See all my reviews

Know that JAG kicked off NCIS. But this is how the show really developed. As we see the Secret Service in charge of protecting the President and Agent Catlin Todd, who used to be with the USSS.

NCIS wants to view the death of a Major on board the Air Force One. As the USSS, FBI, and NCIS get into jurisdiction friction. Plus all kinds of comic relief over this.

NCIS take over Air Force One and fly away with it. As agent Todd, aka Kate is forced to help out. At first she is a suspect due to her relationship with the Major of the Marines. But after a brief interrogation with Gibbs on board in the Air Force One bathroom, she is proved innocent.

This is one of the rare times we see Gibb's funny humor. But it is a great way of kicking off a hit show still on!
