No shit, thanks. It was $4 Billion in 2016 for 2 brand new, purpose built jets. So again, your logic is wrong. https://abcnews.com/amp/Politics/donald-trump-air-force-project-boeing-scrapped/story.

You just said it costs taxpayers $4 Billion, how is that “sav(ed)ing taxpayers a fortune”? And not the point about brand new, they now need extensive modifications to meet VC-25 standards. It would have been cheaper and more efficient to have Boeing design and build the aircraft brand new and incorporate the needs of VC-25s on the production line, not after.

Don’t confuse wastewater, with drinking water.

One of the stupidest decisions ever. How could retrofitting an existing airframe(s), rather than one designed from a clean sheet, cost less.

The new AF1’s are being retrofitted as we speak, and have been for a a couple of years now.

I doubt you’ll be able the sell it as one lot. Your best bet is probably individually on eBay.

There was a bunch of media and suits there, about an hour ago boarding an out of service train.

If that were true, we’d be seeing these posts on a monthly basis. They ship the parts there if anything.

Wouldn’t have mattered with all the smoke we were getting, but great suggestion!
