Qatari Gifted 747 Debuts as Air Force One, But It’s an Interim VIP Transport
TL;DR Summary
A Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar was unveiled as the new Air Force One, featuring upgraded security, communications, and a distinctive red, white, blue, and gold livery. However, experts say it’s more of an interim VIP transport than the fully equipped VC-25B, and its size required a new hangar at Joint Base Andrews. The next-generation Air Force One is still years away, with delivery now slated for around 2028–2029.
