Yeah, and not from a foreign power. You can say what you wish. This is a play to get around the Constitution to provide Trump with a gift from a foreign power. The whole hat is going to have to be taken apart bolt by bolt at a cost of a couple of billion. We are only going to need a new jet whatever it cost once his term is over to replace e this one. It is a low point of stupid. There is no defending this, but go ahead. | |||

While I agree that getting the plane was Trump's pathological need for bling, you guys have to admit now that you were wrong that the plane was going to Trump. It went to the pentagon. Of course, its going to cost a bunch of money to rebuild it and go over it for refurb and then bring it up to snuff with the requirements for AF1. On the other hand, when is Boeing delivering the other planes? It may end up being AF 1 for a decade... DOD (with the next president) would get to decide what they do with this aircraft... We would only need a new jet if Trump is right and the current AF1 is actually not airworthy, and this new plane is not adequate... of course this plane might not be capable of landing in some spots that Trump likes to go, so he will waste money there also. | |||

We don't NEED THE FUCKING THING since the 2 we have are adequate and we already have 2 more on order. Give me a home where the buffalo roam and I'll show you a house full of buffalo shit. | |||

I get that. But folks are saying that the current AF1 is over 10 years past the date they were going to replace it by. Boeing is way past date for delivery, for whatever reason. Why are they replacing the current planes if they are "just fine"? Of course, I agree that Trump is more interested in having "new". Initially, you were going on about it being a full on grift for Trump to get a new airplane as personal property. That is not the case at this point. At best (worst?) it is Trump demanding the trappings of an imperial presidency.

Congress disagreed and authorized 2 new ones - the current AF planes where commissioned 35 years ago - MOST 747 of that fleet cohort are retired, not even freighters. the last 747-8 rolled off the the assembly line in 2023, ending production of the cert type that the new AF1 planes are supposed to be and yet, still, taking the qatar jet is STUPID how about "where's my plane?" to boeing ?? opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

They are replacing the current AF planes because they are outdated not because they're not airworthy. They get the best maintenance so they are still useable. What does Boeing have to say about not making the order for new ones a priority? Unless it has changed the plan was for the DoD to transfer title to the plane to his presidential library which I assume means also that he is allowed use of it; I hope at his expense. Or those who are willing to donate to cover the costs. I'm guessing that Qatar figures that they can get more in benefit$ by "donating" it than they could from selling it outright. https://www.aol.com/37-million...ntial-010626592.html Give me a home where the buffalo roam and I'll show you a house full of buffalo shit. | |||
