Trump Wanted a Cheaper Air Force One. So the USAF Is Buying a Bankrupt Russian Firm’s Undelivered 747s
President Donald Trump said the projected cost of new Air Force One aircraft was too high, so the U.S. Air Force found a way to lower it: by buying a pair of Boeing 747 jetliners abandoned by a bankrupt Russian airline. (www.govexec.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Anyone who voted for this boob to be President? You got who you voted for. Our entire nation is in serious danger We've elected a man with no experience as a AFPP Mech to service a 787. Do you feel safe on this aircraft? I don't!
Трамп молодец!
Есть ещё Ил-86/Ил-96. Надо попробовать

trump is an international joke. it's funny that the replacement of the AF1 came when he is in the WH, so he can brag (tweet a little more) about cuts and so on. History will tell (if not already) what a jerk and liar this man (is he?) is. he has no saying on the President's security or airplane choosing. that's for the protocol. we outsiders every day go to the news to find out what joke did trump did or do yesterday... it's a daily laugh this joke... USA what have you become under this guy?
I wonder what the airframe times on both these VC 25's are?
Since they were never delivered to the customer it's the time the manufacturer pot on them in post production testing and the time for attempted delivery. Did you bother to read the article??
Imagine that....Trump doesn't want Boeing to handle the AIR FORCE ONE deal, but a BANKRUPT RUSSIAN FIRM'S PLANES!!!!!

New Air Force One to be converted Russian airliners
In an effort to cut some cost off the next presidential transport, the Air Force is reportedly in talks with Boeing to buy two 747s that had been produced for the now-bankrupt Russian airline, Transaero. The two jumbo jets were ordered by the airline in 2013, but Transaero went bankrupt in 2015, before it could pay for and take delivery of the airplanes, which are now sitting in the Mojave Desert awaiting a bargain shopper.
