Donald Trump wants to cancel a government order for a new Air Force One
The president-elect said in a tweet early Tuesday that the new Boeing (BA) 747 jet that's being built to carry "future presidents" already costs more than $4 billion, and that he wants to cancel the order. (money.cnn.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
People really amaze me. AF1 is old and outdated they say. "Horrible". Look at the B-52's that defend our country. They are so old that your father and grandfather flew them. Think about that one for a moment. Father and Grandfather. It was used in Korea. AF1 can be upgraded to modern electronics if necessary. The airframe is perfectly good and there still are lots of parts from mothballed aircraft. I absolutely agree with Trump.
Not quite, but close. The B-52 went into active service in 1955, two years after the end of the Korean War.
He should cancel it for the Muilenberg/McInerny (Boeing) greed factor. The new and out-gone CEO's who are disconnected from the worker bees and have been ripping off the US tax payers for years.
The playing field needs to be level-set and President-elect Trump will do just that.
Boeing, is not your "fathers" company... ...especially when the Boeing Moscow design bureau is doing all of the new aircraft design and development.
Boeing invested $27 Billion US, thats right... BILLION, into the Moscow design bureau and flat-lined all of their US design centers. Go figure.
The 787 line is all designed in Moscow and not the US...
I am sure Mr. Trump will have them eating warm crow very soon...

The thread is no longer aviation oriented.
Many non aviation dimensions have been added.
Let me add one ... cost analysis and fund allocation, a finance management related topic.
What is the break up of $ 4 Billion ? To what resource/s will these funds be allocated? Or say who will foot the bill?
Similarly what are the similar details about $ 170 Million ?
May be most of the confusion may clear up, hopefully !

Do you ever read your posts before you hit the post button? So many are full of typos they they make reading them painful.
Richard Bushey , if this one is addressed to me , then my basic mistake is I'm not a pilot ! Therefore, apparently, not entitled to any immunity which is available in abundance for pilots !
Enjoy Christmas season which has commenced.

1)If you're the lawyer you pose to be you would be more clear in your descriptions . Everything from ... on is unclear.
2)The disintegration or degradation of a thread does not justify following that new direction. You lurk for the opportunities to nudge, or drag topics from aviation to legal or otherwise. We have had this exchange before but still you persist. If you are a pilot or have a great interest in aviation, welcome.Otherwise, to paraphrase House, a TV doctor, 'Go Away'
