Boeing’s VC-25B Bridge aircraft is currently being painted in the red, white and blue livery that President Donald Trump initially sought after during his first term in 2018.
The Qatari-donated 747-8i interim Air Force One completed modifications and flight testing ahead of schedule.
KEY POINTS
- The interim aircraft's upgrade cost is $400 million, much less than the $1 billion previously speculated.
- L3Harris Technologies collaborated with Boeing to accelerate operational readiness using a creative acquisition strategy.
- Delivery of the fully upgraded VC-25B aircraft is now delayed to 2028, not 2024 as originally planned.
