Trump is unlikely to get a new Air Force One during his presidency because of Boeing delays: report

President Trump will be much safer if he uses his own plane and not the DEI/Trump haters plane.

[Ann Archy]

Check for bugs and bombs!

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I’d bet that an older plane made when Boeing was competent would be safer than a brand-new plane made by DEI Boeing.

WHAT BRAND OF PLANE IS TRUMP’S???

[null and void]

I bet if Elon went into the passenger aircraft business Trump could have an American made AF-1...

[BBB333]

Boeing 757

[1Old Pro]

In 2015, the Air Force chose Boeing to build two new planes to replace its aging 747 presidential fleet. In 2018, the planemaker and the Trump Administration agreed to pay $3.9 billion for the planes.

WOW, 10 years to make a plan; 2018 to 2028.

[Resolute Conservative]

Stop hauling around the press and other non-essential people and get a smaller plane. Make them get their own ride.

[libertylover]

This means the planes may be ready only after the conclusion of Trump's second term.

Uh, it hasn't been long since the likes of Yahoo were telling us that if Trump gets back in office that he would be a Nazi dictator for life.

I get what you’re saying, but the actual aircraft used as AF1 have a huge array of defensive measures built in, as well as all kinds of CandC technology, and special high-output engines not available on the civilian market. It really is a flying White House with unlimited linger time. Trump’s personal aircraft is nice, but it’s a glorified passenger aircraft.

An outrage when Biden was VP, crackhead Hunter was riding scot-free, mooching off
the taxpayers, while he pedaled his father’s influence to our adversaries for big bucks.

[DJ Frisat]

Not necessary a bad thing.

Given the alarming level of TDS in this country, they’d probably outfit one of those 737 Max models that were falling out if the sky a few years ago,

Trump selected the new colors, but I seem to recall that Joe reversed that decision. But if this report is true, then Trump and reissue the color directive.

[skr]

When did he voice this dream? He’s usually trying to save money on such things.

[3RIVRS]

Prong is in the 💩right now. They need a visible win. This would be one a big one.

[cableguymn]

That’s what I was thinking. Boeing’s new motto is if it’s a Boeing I ain’t going.

[iamgalt]

If Trump determines it is needed it will be done by 26 bank it.

[Openurmind]

Jerk their contract in the interest of national security and give it to someone else.

“actual aircraft used as AF1 have a huge array of defensive measures built in, as well as all kinds of CandC technology, and special high-output engines not available on the civilian market”

Customization — the cash cow of all product building.

Vance will love it.
