Charlie StrossThis is ridiculous. Air Force One is the call sign of one of two Air Force VC-25Bs, which are based on the same Boeing 747-8 airframe as this Quatari jet … but with $2.5Bn of changes to each, and the first two aren't finished yet. As it is, this plane isn't fit for purpose without 2-3 years of VERY expensive refits (for security, electronic countermeasures, in-flight refuelling, and military communications). It's basically a huge bizjet.
