VC-25A

President Donald Trump flew on his new Air Force One, a Qatari-gifted VC-25B jet valued at $400 million, which is larger, faster, more fuel-efficient, and more luxurious than the outgoing VC-25A. The new plane, previously a luxury transport for the Qatari royal family, was painted in red, white, and blue and retrofitted with protective measures.

President Donald Trump unveiled a new Air Force One, a converted Qatari-owned Boeing 747, featuring a navy blue and red color scheme. The jet serves as a temporary 'bridge' aircraft until new Boeing planes arrive in 2028, despite questions about accepting a foreign gift. Trump stated he would donate the Qatari jet to a future presidential library after leaving office.

President Donald Trump unveiled a new Air Force One, a Qatari-owned Boeing 747 converted for U.S. presidential use, featuring a navy blue and red color scheme. The jet serves as a temporary replacement until new Boeing planes arrive in 2028, following a reversal of a prior decision by President Joe Biden regarding the aircraft's design.

A Qatari-gifted Boeing 747 is being modified to join the U.S. presidential fleet as the aging VC-25A Air Force One planes retire. Three new VC-25B aircraft, including the donated jet, will replace the older models, with modifications ongoing at an airport in Texas. The transition follows scrutiny over security concerns and Trump's criticism of the existing fleet.
