Lt Col (Ret) Todd Beer

Recruited in 1982 by the United States Air Force Academy to play basketball, Todd Beer entered the Armed Forces for what turned into a twenty-four year career. He overcame his fear of flying while at the Academy and went on to become a pilot for Air Force One. He flew Air Force One for President Clinton and President George W. Bush and has flown each former president since Jimmy Carter.

For the last 7 of his 24 years in the Air Force, Todd was a member of the Air Force One team. His travels took him around the world and he was a part of many historical missions. He flew during two Presidential campaigns, was involved in President Bush’s surprise Thanksgiving visit to Baghdad and flew during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

Todd’s message includes his recollections of memorable moments aboard the world’s most recognizable aircraft and the leadership, teamwork and the dedication to excellence required to be successful.
