70 years? Must have been the post-World War II version of the 747!
However, it’s ok with us if Obama takes a few more rides.
Is it for sale?
Further down in article
“Richard Aboulafia, a senior aviation analysis at the Teal group in Virginia, said: “Even with the current replacement programme, the existing aircraft will get to be around 35 years old, which is up there in jetliner years.”
“And as we liftoff aboard Air Force One…the winds of freedom will be propelling my mission… As I fly westward over our majestic land, I go knowing that we´re witnessing an awakening to those self–evident truths to which our forefathers pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.”
– Ronald Reagan, April 23, 1986

When you visit the Reagan Library, you will step aboard this same Air Force One that flew President Reagan over 660,000 miles – to 26 foreign countries and 46 U.S. states – and you will learn how he changed the face of global diplomacy.
Well if it’s not safe for Trump in January, how is it safe for Obama now?
“Last 70 years”? Good grief.
Nonsense. The 747-200 is NOT 70 years old.
So af1 isn’t safe now? Those planes last decades..why didn’t obama order new ones then? Yes I know it is about safety.
And the msm will be complaining about the new plane and the redecorating (aka hazmat fumigation) WH expenses in 3, 2...
Obama refused to have security repairs done..like bullet proof glass, etc..and that is suppose to be take place first year of Trump’s presidency.
He needs a modified plane for security reasons he can’t use his plane safely. “The car’s in good shape” says Obama.
Ummmm, that 747-200 has not been around since 1946.
I call this “Fake News”.
Obama probably has it bugged from nose to tail.
I would not put it past them.
I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that President Trump will be ordering up Air Force One from a phone in the Oval Office his entire term starting day one.
click bait BS
I have always worried about Trumps jet. the maintance crew. someone could plant a bomb on it.
You are more charitable than I to attribute this Oval Office and Air Force One stuff to mere incompetence on Barry’s part.
“Fake News”.
