As we see on the map above, Air Force One Cafe/Restaurant is on the northeastern corner of TSA. Since there is no convinient bus route or MRT available to go there, taking a ride by taxi or driving your car/riding your motorbike is highly recommended.
如地圖所示，空軍一號咖啡廳/餐廳位於松山機場的東北角。搭公車去極為不便(轉車換車會煩死你)，捷運更到不了。因此強烈建議看倌自己開車或騎機車去。
Once you arrive there, you will see balcony on the left side and indoor restaurant on the right side. It's necessary that you order a drink or a sandwich or so, because a minimum consumption (a bottle of cola=NT$80) is required.
Too expensive ??? I don't think so. You pay a small amount of money--as ticket price--to earn the right to sit there, enjoying the view, seeing planes taking off and landing or even taking photos all the day (its business hour is from 1000 hour to 2200 hour). What a cheap way it is !!!
一進大門，左手邊的二樓就是看飛機&拍飛機的陽台，右邊有室內餐廳。這家店有最低消費的要求，也就是一杯(瓶)飲料。價格最低的是瓶裝可口可樂，要價新台幣80元。
嗯.....嫌貴嗎？一點也不。花一點小錢當門票，就可以欣賞風景、拍飛機&看飛機一整天(營業時間從早上10點到晚上10點)。超便宜的！
All right....you order a cup of drink and go to balcony then get your camera ready !!!
點完飲料&走上二樓陽台，就得把你的相機準備好嘍！

Why is this cafe/restaurant named as "Air Force One"? Look at the photos above. An airforce C-130 cargo plane was landing (with Runway 28). In the background is the hangar of presidential plane, nickname Air Force One. Then you can see buildings of SongShan Airforce Base HQ. There are always some military helicopters, VIP planes and C-130s parking around HQ. One day I spent a lot of time, aiming my camera at them, minites later a military humvee stop beside TSA's fence, just a few meters from where I stood, and shouting "Gentleman...sir...stop taking pictures here, it's illegal." I walked away for a while and those soldiers drove away. But, you know, not a long time later I was back to where I stood and kept taking photos.
空軍一號餐廳的名字怎麼來的？看上面這些照片即可略知一二。一架空軍C-130正在降落，背景就是總統專機(暱稱空軍一號)的機棚。旁邊還有空軍松山基地指揮部大樓、營房、其他機棚等建築物。周邊隨時都可以看到停著軍用直升機、運輸機、行政專機等等。某日版主我鏡頭瞄著松指部好一段時間，不久後一台悍馬車停在圍牆邊，離餐廳陽台只有幾公尺遠，車上軍人下車後大喊「先生，這裡不可以拍照！」我走開了一會兒，阿兵哥們的悍馬車也開走了。然後.....嘿嘿嘿.....沒多久我又回原處繼續拍我的飛機照片。

For foreigners or people from other domestic cities visiting Taipei, skyscrapers like 101 is one of the must sees. You can have clear view of 101 from this cafe/restaurant's balcony. Love to see sunset ??? This balcony is one of the best places in Taipei City.
對來台北的外國人或外縣市民眾來說，101這種摩天大樓是必看的景點。從空軍一號餐廳的陽台，可以清楚看到101大樓。這裡也是市區裡欣賞夕陽的好地方之一。

For aviation-crazy people like me, this cafe/restaurant is not only a perfect place to take photos of planes, but also a nice treasure mine to find aviation-related goods you'd like to buy.
對版主這種愛拍照的航空迷來說，空軍一號不只是個拍飛機&看飛機的好地方，也是採購航空相關商品的寶藏之地。
Key rings, badges with devil felt, books, magazines, caps, stickers, T-shirts, towels.....you can find many goods here. Of course, you should have enough money in your pockets.
店內的商品從鑰匙圈、帶魔鬼氈的徽章&臂章、書籍雜誌、帽子、貼紙、T恤、毛巾....只要口袋夠深，想buy多少就buy多少。
There are some "antiques" on display in this store, including models and pilots' helmets. I don't they are for sale or not.
店內也有展示一些"古董"，包括二次大戰戰機模型，以及飛行頭盔等等。至於是否可出價購買，版主沒問，看倌可以自行打聽。
