Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson - Democrats continue to beat the drum that Trump is being gifted a 747 from Qatar. It’s a lie. Let’s look at the facts.
The Qatar B-747 was built in the US by Boeing. They are offering a newer 747 to replace one of the two current AF-1s that have been flying for 40 years. Which are tired and need to be replaced. The wing based at Andrews has also purchased aircraft from other countries in the past which are currently flying our VP and senior government officials. This is NOT new.
The acquisition contract with Boeing to replace the older jets was initiated by Barack Obama 10 years ago. Boeing is woefully behind with no firm delivery date in the future. So, in the meantime, the old 747s (there are 2) continue to fly.
As a stop gap measure, the Biden administration (yes Biden) began negotiations with Qatar to acquire one of their 747s. Qatar agreed and now are offering the jet to the US military, not Donald Trump. Modifying a future AF-1 is not a simple or cheap proposition. It will take a few years. The DOD contractor is based in the US, in fact my dad (a retired Air Force general) used to work for them. They are, not unironically, also working to upgrade the FAA technology as we speak. You know, Newark and elsewhere. They will get the aircraft and perform all of the security and the installation of the systems that AF-1 requires to safely move our president around the world. Not the Qatari’s. And you and I will pay for that but not the $400 million the 747 would normally cost. I could tell you exactly what is required to modify the AF-1 for safe flight but that is Top Secret. We’d never trust a foreign government to do that.
This AF-1 will serve the sitting president, whether they be Republican or Democrat until Boeing gets their shit together to complete the new, upcoming improved 747s that started under Obama, was renegotiated under Trump, and was completely ignored by the Biden administration. So here we are. The Trump Library has requested an AF-1 through the National Archives after he leaves office. It’ll be one of the old ones and it won’t be flown on by Trump. It’ll be a “static display” just like the old AF-1 hanging in the Reagan Library.
I love X but sometimes the “sky is falling” conspiracy crap and intentional misinformation grows tiresome. A little knowledge goes a long way. Having flown on the current AF-1s 100 hundred times, I have intimate knowledge.
