I bet there's better missile countermeasures in the "old" jet.
It's probably a concern being so close to various conflict hotspots.
IF he decides to leave office when its time, he will try and keep the jet. Quote me
That's already a known part of the deal. After his term, it goes to his "presidential library", which is pretty much wholly controlled by him.
I didnt know this. Cheers!
If the Quataris have a self-distruct button...now would be an awesome time to test it.
Ejecto-seato cuz!
No, about 24 hours ago would’ve been an awesome time. Now it’s just folks following (legal) orders to move a plane who don’t deserve it.
I read that he's taking the new jet from the UK home... I say put it down where the titanic went down. Perfect.
Must have been one hell of a diaper leak
For the plane, it had to evacuate the stinker it had in its belly.
lol. Qatar sent him an incriminating photo from one of their spy cameras on the flight over. "Just a reminder who your daddy is..."
It's well known that the Qatar jet was a lemon that they gave to Trump as a white elephant gift. It probably developed some mechanical problem(s) and they had to ground it for repairs.
No disbelief here but that thing is probably a ship of Theseus situation. It will probably be years perhaps decades before we know how much money went into that thing before it took over as Air Force One.
Nah they should have just ran with it...
