Inside the NEW Air Force One

Today we are going to have a look at inside the new air force one and how it could look like. The iconic air force one made by being is one of the most famous airplanes in the world While the current model is very reliable and proofed itself as a good aircraft the time has come that it needs to be replaced by a newer model. Replacing the aircraft with a more state-of-the-art model will reduce the operation costs a lot. And allowed to remodel the airplane floor plane as well as using the latest equipment.
What di you think will the next Air Force one look like?

If you're worried about having the paint applied on top of the old, they don't do that. Right now, one of the two -25A models is getting paint treatment after sitting in San Antonio for a year.

AF1 airframes are replaced at the end of their service life, and the current planes are 30+ years old. So in 2015, the Air Force ordered 747-Bs as new AF1. That's BEFORE Trump. Trump complained about the program. So the Air Force found 2 limbo 747s and negotiated terms with Boeing. The AF made it happen, not Trump. But he did get an opinion on color schemes. I prefer the Kennedy-era scheme, personally.

Not only That the airframes Are 30 years but that the spare parts are no longer produced. It’s an obsolete airframe.
