Yes. It's notable that he made a hash of those AF1s in his first term when he demanded that Boeing convert some already built (for a Russian airline natch) 747s in storage rather than build new planes.

He fucked those up by insisting on a red color scheme that would have fucked up the security and stealth capabilities, which im betting is the real reason he wants this Qatari plane. He figures no one is gonna say no to him if its "his plane".

Not stealth, thermal management. There was a real dangers the engines could fail because he demanded the nacelles be painted dark blue which could cause them to overheat. Which now that I think about it, he should knock himself out.

That's it couldn't remember what it was all I remembered was that the air force said "No way, that's a national security hazard".

I remember a while back there was talk that Boeing was gonna do a rush job on the new AF1s and it was going to be supervised by Elon and maybe we should revisit that plan because I think it was pretty good

I say we just let him use trump force 1, not like that thing needed to have its engines entirely rebuilt recently or anything.

The ideal Trump Force 1 built by Boeing, approved by Duffy's TSA, and complete with Tesla autopilot.
