President Donald J. Trump

F-22 Raptor = 412 million. That was widely considered too expensive.

B-2 Spirit = 2.1 Billion dollars.

Basic commercial 747 from Boeing = between 228 and 352 million.

4 billion for an unarmed presidential plane is an obscenity.

only problem with that is that it isnt a basic model

[GuerrillaUnReal]

Let me get this straight. The two biggest bitches from the left is Trump is communicating with an important ally and not bowing down to a communist country we have a strained relationship with and he's already trying to stop frivolous government spending?

Is half of this country brain dead? What are these arguments? They're fucking insane.

Stop using context. It confuses things. Especially Trump.

[Jackstar]

I can't believe you let this idiot troll you.

It should be. Honestly, the aircraft should be a modified military plane equipped with flares, like a c-17, and the advanced communications needed for the presidency. Don't paint it blue and white and advertise that the president is on board, that should be kept secret. And ditch the press corps on flights.

In the meantime, Trump should be flying around in a badass plane. Like an A-10.

[The King of Kings]

Yeah. Trump knowest all. He has a good brain.

Yes, yes he does. 

He graduated from a private Ivy League college and turned $1,000,000 into $4.5 billion, living a lavish life along the way.

He is currently the President-Elect after defeating Hillary Clinton, the DNC, the MSM, and the establishment Republicans.

At this point, calling President-Elect Donald J. Trump "dumb", is just pathetic.

i do agree that they should ditch the press corps, i think it is supposed to show off the fact that the president is on board. it is a giant aircraft with what i imagine are state of line communication and defense packages

Boeing has given millions to the Clinton Foundation and her campaign...they are scared shitless that "overruns" will now not be tolerated...LOLZ LOVE IT!

Yeah, that might be fun. See his tantrum when he loses his place in the flight manual!

They keep it secret, but I'm sure its defensive and comms are about as advanced as you can get. Even still, it shouldn't cost much more than a strategic bomber does.

So you don't see his temperament of a child an impediment?

[SciFiAuthor]

I've changed my mind. He needs a B-52 and can drop leaflets about American exceptionalism and how to be like us everywhere he goes. It's gonna be tremendous.

Good choice. The refits the remaining fleet have had and will continue to have will outstrip a new AF1.

[Dr. MD MD]

The MSN aren't seeing it anyway; just pointing out the repercussions of Trump cancelling the order. Trump being Trump wouldn't have told you that, so someone should.

You probably don't even watch it but they're clearly still cheerleading for Hillary in the same way you do for the queen and authoritarianism in general.

pud's from Britain. Nuff said!  :

Fucking hell. Boeing building AF1 or any other aeroplane for that matter, has nothing to do with Clinton. Get over her. At least try to. And please please, stay off the meth.

And knows considerably more about aeroplanes and the design therein, than you do. Nuff said.

My comment wasn't directed at Pud but more the MSM. This Taiwan thing they're trying to cry about is one of the dumbest things I've seen from them.

I haven't seen as much about the Air Force One thing but still, what an utterly retarded argument.

It's going to get a lot worse. It's starting to dawn on the left that if Trump merely continues to do what he's already done since winning the election then he will have a highly successful, effective presidency that permanently shifts the working class vote towards the GOP. This makes Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania swing states and Ohio a permanent red state.

The Dems realize that they may be done for as a national party, and that's going to put them in a permanently nasty mood. Trouble is, they have no idea why they don't resonate. They haven't figured out that changing the face of their party from union man Joe Sixpack to bleating SJW with sexual identity issues alienates large parts of the electorate.

I like the B-52 as well. Just a venerable, wonderful aircraft. And huge. I've seen one up close. Pictures don't do it justice.

If you are ever down here in Tucson, the Pima Air & Space Museum has quite a few! Plus my favorite bomber, the B-36.

Back before cool things weren't allowed anymore, one of my most distinct childhood memories was my father taking me to an air show when I was a real little guy. At this air show they had a simulated battle where troops parachuted in from a C-130, followed by cargo drops, followed by A-10s doing a bombing run with the crescendo being a B-52 coming in on a low level bombing run. Watching an entire mountain range explode from this gigantic air plane screaming in at 100 feet off the ground was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

The Buff is one of the most amazing planes I've ever seen.

The art of the deal indeed. I wonder how the media's going to spin that one.

As strategic bombers go, they make lousy airliners. They actually very cramped inside.

Well, then you can stop bulldogging for her then. People are trying to point out the good Trump is already doing and you're just painting it all black...and then huffing the paint, obviously.  :

That's on my bucket list in fact. Did you know that a disassembled, complete B-36 recently surfaced? A guy that scrapped aircraft for a living back in the day had it sitting in his yard.

YOU and your obsession with Trump. That's what I'm talking about.
