This plane goes with the Trump family in the end, calling it now. The new Air Force One model, VC-25B, has been in work for a long time. This new plane saves nothing. Boeing already has the two the USAF ordered. They have been in construction for years now. This new one would have to be stripped bare and built up considerably to reach the point the other two are at already.
I bet this one sits still for a while under the facade that it’s going to be AF1, then quietly becomes his family’s personal plane under the guise it’ll save us money to fly them someplace once, twice, forever. Who’s going to stop them anyway?
