Summary
President Donald Trump unveiled the new Air Force One plane Friday at Joint Base Andrews, a day after one of the two Boeing 747-200s used by presidents for nearly the last four decades completed its final trip upon returning from the G7 in France. The US president has fixed on replacing the aircraft, which have been in service since the 1990s, since his first term. Repeatedly praising the size of the aircraft and its engines, Trump said, "it flies further and faster than any Air Force One." Trump said the new aircraft would likely participate in a fly as part of 250th U.S. Independence Day celebrations on July 4.
Furthermore, The US government has contracted Boeing to deliver two new 747-8 aircraft to serve as part of the presidential fleet, but the program has been placed by delays and cost-overruns. Whenever a US president is on the jet, it officially takes the call sign Air Force One. A framed print of a duck swimming in the Reflecting Pool — a Washington landmark that Trump has thought to beautiful with mixed results — is very patriotic-themed pictures to adorn the walls.
In addition, While the now-replaced aircraft sported a blue and white exterior, the new aircraft has a navy blue underbelly, red stripe and white upper body. When it was built, it was built at a level that will probably never be seen again," Trump said of the jet, which is approximately 14 years old.
