They couldn’t get a new Air Force 1 built since Trump’s first term, they can’t seem to keep their current planes in the air and yet somehow they get this huge order.

That was sort of the original reason the US got involved: the Saudis and others realized that British Petroleum and the European oil companies would rob them blind but an honest deal could be made with the Americans, which led to the founding of Aramco.

The Gulf States airlines are a throw back to the pre Jimmy Carter airline days when the the flying was much more friendly and when you were talking about wide bodies people knew for certain that you talking about the airplane and not the stews.

The fact of life are this - the EU and the Party of Davos, along with the Democrat Party in the US are an existential threat to the Gulf oil states because the EU and US climate zealots are literally banning the use of fossil fuels by 2035.

These Neo Jacobian, radical progressive climate zealots are not just the enemies of President Trump, they are the enemies of Russia and the Gulf oil states , they are the enemies of the American people.

President Trump is building an international Coalition of the Threatened to take down these people before they can do even more damage than they have already.

My God, you weren't kidding!!

Democrats to Fly 'Qatar-a-Lago' Banner Near Trump's Palm Beach Home

How childish, petulant, and unserious can they possibly get?

When will a judge step in to ban Boeing selling jets to Qatar? When will the Dems put a bill in the hopper to ban the Boeing sale?

I just flew Qatar Airlines from MAD to BKK in business. Friendly staff, sparkling clean planes, delicious food, hotel quality linens and it was an incredible experience. And then the biz class lounge in Doha was like staying at a 4 Seasons. Spectacular airport where you could by anything from a $500 iPad to a $3.5 million McLaren. A little different than flying a US airline surrounded by complete filth and snappy flight attendants.

You beat me to it. LOL.

They might as well have placed an order with Boeing for a space station on Pluto.

I suspect most of these may be produced in South Carolina.

Yeah, I was thinking that by the time they’re delivered they’ll probably have Warp Drive.

It’ll take about 160 years for delivery.

Time flies, and those 160 years will go by in 3-4 years.

Please Please Please fly directly over Mar A Largo at 499 feet or less. You will lose your license and since intentional probably go to jail. Unintentional will get you a large fine, a severe dressing down, and possible loss of license.

“The area around Mar-a-Lago has both a permanent and temporary restricted airspace for aviation. A permanent restriction exists over the club itself, and this restriction expands to a 30 nautical mile radius when the president is in residence. This permanent restriction extends to a height of 6,000 feet.”

“The minimum altitude over congested areas is 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a 2,000-foot horizontal radius of the aircraft. This regulation applies to aircraft operations, excluding those necessary for takeoff or landing, and is specified in Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 91.119. Over non-congested areas, the minimum altitude is 500 feet above the surface. “

Given the overall quality of Boeing products in the recent past, I wonder if the Qataris know what they’re getting into...?
