I hope everything is alright.
Okay... since when does AF1 ever have “issues” like this? If this plane isn’t maintained to the absolute highest standards of any aircraft in the world, what would be? Should we be suspicious??
Air Force One has landed safely at Joint Base Andrews.
No.

Yes the President is safe, AF 1 has landed and he will board the replacement aircraft.
Can’t read the article.
Paywall.
😕
Didn’t this same thing happen a couple of months ago?
Maybe he should have taken that Qatari 747.
Yes big time this is a big issue
Makes you wonder what’s really going on.
Will the new AF1 fly with transponder on or off?
The way the world seems to be aligned against the one who seeks to end the deep state, even at the global level, I’d be flying “ dark” too if I were him.
The world has gone stark staring mad.
I tend to watch every departure of AF1 covered by Forbes or Palm Beach Post, so I just finished watching it take off from Andrews. The Forbes camera followed it as the plane traveled very far and high, barely still visible. Problem must have occurred about that time, but Forbes didn’t catch it returning. Considering that the last 12 months have not been kind to aviation, I have been anxious about the AF1 planes all year. I hope everything goes OK the rest of the trip.
Prayers up.
Libtards across the country return their “He’s finally dead!” bottles of champagne to the fridge.
How meticulous are they with the backup plane?

Stuff happens. Yeah it’s maintained to an extraordinary degree.
Things are still going to break. Considering the passenger the pilot must exercise extreme caution.
“Stuff” happens.
Maintained C-5s and C-141s in Air Force.
I’ve been trying to get updated info. Apparently lights in the press area of the plane went out. The report I saw in FOX News did not say if lights went out anywhere else on the plane. AF1 landed safely at Andrews at 11:07pm Eastern. At that time they were readying a backup plane for him.
“The way the world seems to be aligned against the one who seeks to end the deep state, even at the global level, I’d be flying “ dark” too if I were him.”
I agree. A lot of demons want him 6ft under. They HATE him.
