And Trump told a reporter when asked about it today, "What do you want me to do, tell Qatar no thanks, and then spend half a billion or whatever of taxpayer money on a replacement plane, since Boeing missed their delivery date by years? That would be stupid."

One more thing for the libs to sky scream about that ends in a big Womp Womp.

So we spend half a billion now or half a billion in 4 years ( + inflation, + cost to security sweep the gift plane, + cost to transfer gift plane to Trump library)? Seems like a Trump ego thing and bad business decision. Par for the course for a guy that bankrupted a casino.

Everything Trump does seems like a bad business decision to you. Yet he's a multi-billionaire, and he did it without turning a $175K Congressional salary into multi-millions...like some of your heroes.

And lots of successful businessmen have bankruptcies before making it big. Learn from your mistakes.

We’ll spend hundreds of millions to turn this plane into a functioning AF 1, and the plane will only be in public service for 2-3 years.

Trump wants a personal luxury jet. This has nothing to do with saving taxpayers a nickel.

dear flaming doofus, what part about the two new AF1's not being ready because Boeing decided to concentrate on DEI do you not get?

They need the planes NOW.

The last AF1 is in Ronald Reagan's library. This one will be in Trump's.

No it’s not. They are only called Air Force 1 when the President is on board. The plane at the Reagan library is SAM-27000. It entered service in 1972 and served all the presidents from Nixon to GWB in 2001. Not the same thing as getting a jet for a single President to use for less than 4 years.

SAM 26000 1962-1998
SAM 28000 1990-present
SAM 29000 1991-present

Is Old YamTits mad he is on the tail end of the service cycle? Thought he was all about the people and not pimpin’ his ride.

Aren't you guys embarrassed? You should be.

Five seconds of a Google search, Not Mensa. So easy to disprove.

Quote:The current Air Force One (VC-25A) aircraft, based on the Boeing 747-200B, is nearing the end of its operational life and is being replaced by new VC-25B aircraft (Boeing 747-8). This is primarily due to technological advancements and the need for updated communications and security systems to ensure the safety and security of the President during his travels. The current Air Force One is also less fuel-efficient than the new model, making it more expensive to operate.

Hundreds of millions to turn this jet into an AF1, only to be in service to taxpayers for 2-3 years…. Talk about waste.

Did you read the post just above yours? The current one has reached the end of its operational life and is a security and safety risk to whatever president is using it.

Another quick search:

Quote:Converting the gift Boeing 747-8 from Qatar into a new Air Force One is estimated to cost...possibly millions of dollars.

Possibly millions. Not HUNDREDS of millions.

Do you ever get anything right?

The current plane is coming to the end of its life cycle & a new one will be available in 2027. The current will be fine until then.

So you're an expert on AF1 operational security and safety?

Just keep digging that hole.
