Trump's Air Force One Plan: \$1 Billion and Years of Work?

A plan to convert a Qatari-owned 747 jet into Air Force One for President Trump has sparked controversy among aviation experts. The experts estimate the conversion would cost more than \$1 billion and require years to complete. The process would involve dismantling the aircraft to ensure there are no listening devices, followed by extensive refitting with advanced security systems. "Converting a commercial 747 into Air Force One is arguably the most complicated aircraft project on the planet," one expert stated. The video also raises security concerns about the plane's origin. The high cost and extensive time commitment raise questions about the feasibility and practicality of the plan. The possibility of a future president or Congress reclaiming the plane for the U.S. government further complicates the situation. Boeing is already undertaking a multi-year effort to convert two 747s into new Air Force One planes at a cost of \$3.9 billion, highlighting the scale of such a project.
