WASHINGTON – President Trump will take his new Air Force One for its first flight on Wednesday when he heads to North Dakota to open the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library.
The trip is part of the nation’s 250th birthday celebrations. The president will also take a train ride, boarding the BNSF Freedom 250 Train as part of the journey to the library site.

didn’t trump place an order with Boeing during early 45?
wonder what time delays + cost over runs have this new AF1 up to by now?
“I feel much better now that AF1 has 4 engines”
Air Force 1 is the call sign of ANY airplane the President is aboard.
Smaller jets like the 757 are common for the President to fly upon — BO landed at my local airport, BZN, in a 747. Trump has been here twice, both times on a 757.
Happy 4th of July!
