Qatari-donated Air Force One to retain luxurious interior after $400M refit
The U.S. Air Force says the Qatari-donated Boeing 747 VC-25B that will serve as Air Force One for President Donald Trump kept its opulent Qatari royal interior after a $400 million modification. Officials say the $400 million overhaul concentrated on security, communications and defensive systems rather than aesthetic changes. The aircraft has completed modifications and flight testing, is being painted into a red, white and blue presidential livery, and is scheduled to roll out this summer. Keeping the royal appointments while adding modern defensive and communications suites means the president will travel on a jet that pairs visible luxury with upgraded security, affecting both operational capability and public perception.

Bill Stewart2It's not Trump's Air Force One, it's the Trump Library's plane. Which makes it a Bookmobile, if he's got any books in it.
