Trump unveils Qatari luxury jet for Air Force One fleet that cost $934 million to retrofit.
Article on the rerouted funds:
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just found nearly a billion dollars — $934 million to be exact — hidden deep in the Pentagon couch cushions. That money was supposed to fund Sentinel, a $77.7 billion modernization project for America’s aging nuclear missile system. Instead, it’s being rerouted to a classified project.

The 747’s higher fuel consumption and emissions made it obsolete and decommissioned from passenger flights.
So pimping one for 1 billion makes sense (/S) ......So much for your 'free' plane. Qatari must be laughing their asses of. Got rid of the thing for free.
That is absolutely true, but in case of military transports, you'll notice that the vast majority are 4 engine. It has to do with survivability.
Yes and No ... For what I've read, a 747 is designed to fly on one engine. It can't take-off on just the one, but flying it will (but yeah, I can see that 4 engines can makes sense for -some- military cases)
It's the same reason why the Airbus 340 was made. Before the extension of ETOPS, many airlines who wanted to fly long routes over water wanted 4 engines, especially asian customers.
I hope he falls down those stairs when he’s getting on his first flight.
Parasites.
We kill parasites in humans. What should we do with parasitic humans? Human parasites that definitely negatively affect more than 50% of the global population? Was Luigi Mangione on to something?
PS I am not suicidal. I'm not homicidal. I dislike needless pain and suffering and commend actions that improve humanity in general.

You know, I bet President Trump is so smart and strong he can fly HIS own plane ALL BY HIMSELF! Why should a bunch of stupid losers and lowlifes like pilots and copilots and liberal media reporters be allowed on board with HIM on HIS PLANE!?!?
We should all start spreading the message that he is so smart and powerful that he should take it out first without lessons.
Maybe it will reach him on Truth Social.
Corruption is bad, except when its the Pentagon; defunding modernizing the "kill all humans" machine is a good thing.
It's been rerouted to a classified project. I'm certain the new project is a new "kill all humans" machine.
Come on now, the crew doesn't deserve that. I'm going to have to delete this.
