>Any ideas?

The US Air Force has a pair of VC-25As (tail numbers 28000 and 29000) which are basically highly modified Boeing 747-200Bs.

These planes use the traffic control sign "Air Force One" when the president of the USA is on board one of them.

The VC-25A is capable of flying 12600 km, but can also re-fuel in-flight, which means they can stay up almost indefinitely.

Might be tricky to charter one though
