New Air Force One takes flight as Trump unveils revamped presidential aircraft

President Donald Trump unveiled a newly refurbished Boeing 747-8i presidential aircraft at Joint Base Andrews, describing it as larger and more luxurious than its predecessors. The jet, donated by the Qatari government and modified for presidential use, will serve as an interim Air Force One while Boeing works on delayed VC-25B replacements. Trump highlighted its size, red-white-and-blue paint scheme, and potential role in next year's America 250 celebration.
