The 47th President of the United States May be Flying Around the World on the New Air Force One VC-25B’s
If President Biden does not secure the office in the upcoming 2024 election, he may very well miss out on the opportunity to be the first U.S. president to fly on the new Air force One VC-25B.
The Department of Defense project to create two new Air Force One VC-25B which are modified and upgraded versions of the well-known Boeing 747 aircrafts at a cost of $3.9 billion has encountered multiple roadblocks which has pushed the deadline of 2024 further ahead by two years.
Boeing has blamed everything from supply chain issues to the pandemic for its reason for not delivering the much-anticipated aircrafts by 2024.
Whatever the reason for the delays, the two Air Force One aircrafts are desperately needed to replace the current aging fleet of Air Force One Boeing 747s.
The Trump administration awarded Boeing the $3.9 billion contract in 2018 with Trump declaring that the new aircrafts will have a completely new color scheme red, white and blue to more appropriately reflect the nations Flag colors. However, that is yet to be determined for the new aircrafts.
With Trump being the 45th President to initiate the program and with current political trends leaning in his favor for re-election in 2024. Ironically, he might very well become the first president to ride the new Air Force One VC-25B’s.
