Trump Frustrated with Boeing Delays, Considers Buying Used Planes for Air Force One
Amid ongoing delays from Boeing regarding the new Air Force One jets, Trump has expressed significant dissatisfaction with the aerospace company. He has suggested that the new aircraft, now expected to be delivered by 2029 or later, have been under construction for too long. In light of this, Trump is reportedly considering the option of purchasing used planes to serve as Air Force One. Notably, he has tasked Elon Musk with expediting the delivery process, and is exploring alternative routes to ensure that a replacement for the aging 30-year-old jet is secured promptly. Additionally, Trump toured a 13-year-old private Boeing 747-8 to evaluate features for his future aircraft and is determined to finalize his desired color scheme regardless of the chosen plane.
