Anyone want to tell him?

Being an ex-AF aircraft mechanic I've seen some great work by what they call "maintainers" now. I'm sure the systems in the old AF1 have had a few modifications, aka, Time Compliance modifications. It's a fact of life with aircraft in the military. We did a few of them while I was in the AF.

At one time all the T-38s in our base had to have flight control cables replaced with the coated version and us mechs got it done. What's more, some times the factory reps would come to the base to show us stuff in the aircraft where in reality the civilians knew more than the ones that were supposedly teaching us. These civilians were sharp as heck.

In the case of AF1 I'm sure the mechanics and flight crew know that aircraft upside down and sideways, afterall, you're dealing with the presidents plane and I'm sure they have the best maintainers the Air Force has. In other words let the specialists have at it and perhaps with a little advice now and then from Boeing they can do it in record time.

hey LiteBrite, he already has his own personal luxury jet....even has his own name on the side of it

Yeah, a 35 year old plane that sat on the tarmac for years because he couldn’t afford the repairs until he got into politics.

no chance he goes back home to that dog when sultans and shieks are flying in these fortresses.

Maybe Netflix will give Trump a plane after his term ends to make documentaries that no one even knows exists.

Mid-air refueling is being dropped on the VC-25B's.

The protocol is now for the VC-25s (A or B) to take POTUS to an airfield where he can board an E-4B NAOC (National Airborne Operations Center).

stop swallowing the taint.

In 2019 (after Trump was president for two years) the plane was placed in storage while a new left engine could be located for purchase or as a loaner so they could fly the plane to Louisiana for upgrades. That was done in 2021 (when Trump was no longer in politics).

some of you taint sniffers have been so brain raped by Trump that you cant even get basic facts correct.

Yea, Trump made his billions in politics.

Checks out.

Idiocracy indeed

It is not a "personal" Luxury Jet. It is a [temporary] replacement for AF1 which is the Presidential Jet.


In the long list of things to give any F's about, this is waaaaay down towards the bottom.

It will cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars… some project it into the billions… to retrofit this 13 year old plane into an AF1. Too, it will take years to complete & then, after a year of service, be deeded over to the Trump Library… which, coincidentally does not exist.

So, we invest a billion, so Trump can get a personal jet equipped with top secret electronic & communication systems, only to have Boeing deliver 2 AF1’s at roughly the same time. Trump can then ride around in “his” plane for 12 months in his official capacity & then take control of it when he leaves office? Seems legit.

Who pays the millions to have the top secret communications systems removed once he leaves office & the plane returned to civilian service? Seems like an inordinate amount of money & resources for a year of service… unless the ultimate goal is for the plane’s life to extend well past Trump’s term in office.

Any plane a former POTUS flies around in has plenty of ‘lectronics. You do know they are still under SS protection, right?

You knew that, right?

Geeeeeeezzz, The Crazy is out today.

Jimmy Carter just flew Delta…

Don’t you get tired of yourself?

The E-4B is built on the same airframe as the VC-25A. The E-4C are not scheduled for service until 2036

If it was just upgrades maybe. That is a BIG maybe. Combine that with having to strip it down for a thorough security check it is not happening. Especially not with Boeings recent track record.

Which is about half of how much I trust you loons. The democrats are history anyway. They may as well officially change the name to Marxists of America or the Communist Party of America. You're supposed to be a smart guy, how is it that you don't see how marxism/communism has crept into your party, grabbed it solidly by the nads and is in a great position to completely take it over? Don't you care that the radical - and violent - left have all but destroyed the traditional democrat party?

Up until at least 2017. There are videos of him shaking everyone on the flights hand in 2017.

i like how you guys take shifts, coming in here and work, then the next one clocks in and spews the same BS, then the overnight shift
