New Air Force One arrives to serve White House resident
'This is considered the world's most luxurious plane'
A Boeing 747-8 has arrived to serve as Air Force One for the resident of the White House.The $400 million luxury jet is a gift from the Qatari government last year, and underwent renovations to provide the services a president might need.
President Donald Trump was on hand at Joint Base Andrews, the military base that has served as a president's airport, and said, "There will never be one like this. This is very unique. This is considered the world's most luxurious plane. When it was built, it was built at a level that will probably never be seen again."
The Air Force confirmed the jet aircraft, larger than previous units that served as Air Force One, soon will be embarking on "commissioning flights," its "final exam" before it can be used to transport the president.
"Fresh from receiving its new red, white, and blue livery and the final government modifications, the aircraft has entered service to provide critical, secure continuity for the commander in chief," the Air Force said

Who paid to renovate it and how much did it cost? What happens to it when Trump leaves office?
ReplyDeleteThe White House has confirmed that the newly unveiled "bridge" Air Force One aircraft will be legally transferred to Donald Trump’s presidential library foundation when he leaves office.
ReplyDeleteWith any plane for a President, getting it suitable for a President, renovations cost a bundle. Encrypted military-grade communication systems and electromagnetic shielding, Antimissile defense systems and in-flight refueling capabilities and all sorts of security, etc. The plane itself was a gift.
I love the new colors, God bless the United States of America and President Trump, maga!
