New Air Force One Arrives Ahead of Schedule, Praised by Trump
The Qatari government's gift of a Boeing 747 plane to President Trump has arrived at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland ahead of schedule. The plane, valued at around $400 million, was initially met with controversy but Trump praised its workmanship, calling it the "world's most luxurious plane". The plane will undergo a "final exam" before becoming available for presidential missions, serving as a bridge until the long-term VC-25B is delivered.
