"Trump will be taking possession of a Boeing 747 for use as the next Air Force One. It’s a gift from Qatar. I still can’t quite wrap my head around that."

I'm with you on that. The plane was shipped in pieces, apparently, then reassembled here. I assume each piece was inspected very thoroughly. I just don't understand why they couldn't source a 747 here.

The Qatari plane is a stop gap.

Boeing is way behind schedule, but in two years, a pair or new Air Force One’s will be delivered.
