    They can make it the new AF1, but they can’t do so securely. There’s a million nooks and cranies, moving parts, and it would be a waste of time to try to secure it all. And that’s before you even get to the software, which is its own nightmare.

    Not that I’d be complaining if this lead to Trump and some of his cronies discovering the meaning of “Don’t Look Up”, but the whole concept is just stupid.

      They estimated it would take to 2028 to overhaul it into a plane as secure as the current AF1. The new AF1 (VC-25B) is expected to be ready 2027.

        If we somehow get through this and get a Democrat elected in 2028 the first fucking thing they do should be to test some fucking cruise missiles on that plane, regardless of how far Trump gets it upgraded. Destroy it immediately.
