Air Force says former Qatari 747 will be ready to fly as Air Force One this summer

18. I'm hoping it is more easily hackable than AF-1

there is NFW that plane can be hastily modified to the AF-1 standards.

It’s his own damn fault that he told Boeing to modify two mothballed 747’s (albeit new for commercial use) for the replacement AF1’s. On a fixed price contract: pay for stripping out the commercial interior and structure then build to AF-1.

At the time Boeing had room on their assembly line to make 747’s. Not to mention every time the requirements change, that’s additional cost.

And I’m gonna guess the livery gonna have that dark blue paint. Duh, airplanes use lighter colors that do not absorb heat.

Why do I smell a clusterF?
