- Air Force One begins commissioning flights, final step before presidential use
The Qatari-donated Boeing VC-25B Bridge aircraft, painted in red, white, and blue, has begun commissioning flights at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, as part of its transition to an interim presidential aircraft. The move follows delays in Boeing’s replacement of aging Air Force One planes, with the Bridge aircraft intended to provide secure transportation for the president until 2028.
