Trump debuts a Qatar-owned Boeing 747 as temporary Air Force One
TL;DR Summary
President Donald Trump unveiled a Qatar-owned Boeing 747 converted into a temporary Air Force One, featuring a bold navy underside and red stripe, to serve until Boeing delivers the new VC-25Bs in 2028. The “bridge” aircraft, with security upgrades costing under $400 million, will be used alongside the existing VC-25As and could fly to the NATO summit in Ankara and other trips; its gift from Qatar has prompted ethics questions about foreign gifts to the U.S. government.
