Joint Base Andrews is a United States Air Force installation located in Prince George's County, Maryland, approximately 10 miles southeast of Washington, D.C. It serves as the primary military airfield supporting the National Capital Region and is best known as the home of the presidential aircraft fleet, including the two VC-25A aircraft designated as Air Force One when the President is aboard.
