That may be Boeing's story but the American tax payers are not going to accept that... wait and see.

Delays, delays everywhere! The Air Force One program is caught in a turbulence of supply chain issues and evolving security demands, potentially pushing delivery to 2029 or beyond. Component manufacturers folding and shifting security needs are the culprits. Originally aiming for a December 2024 debut, now looking at 2027-2028 at the earliest. Stay patient, folks! ✈️ For deeper insights:

#WATCH | Delhi: On the LCA Mark 1A program, Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh says, "... On LCA Mark 1A, the five engines are available, and five aircraft are flying... Once this engine supply line stabilises, the production seems to have stabilised in any case, as far as the Indian vendors and the system and the integrator, which is HAL, are concerned. On the acceptance by the Air Force, there are some areas where the level of some of the requirements that the Air Force had is not fully met, perhaps. Although the weapons trials have been successful... However, there are issues with some of the ORs made available to HAL... The idea is that with a 180-aircraft order, over time, they should be able to really perfect it and make it meet the entire requirements of the Air Force..."

LUFTHANSA TO SELL TWO BOEING 747-8s AMID AIR FORCE ONE DELAYS Lufthansa is set to part ways with two of its Boeing 747-8s—a rare move by one of the last passenger operators of the Queen of the Skies. Reports suggest the aircraft may be sold to the U.S. Air Force, potentially linked to ongoing Air Force One replacement delays. • D-ABYD (13 years old) exiting the fleet in Jan 2026 • D-ABYG (12 years old) exiting the fleet in Q3 2026 Lufthansa treats its 19 Boeing 747-8s as true flagships, operating them conservatively on long-haul missions only and avoiding high-cycle or harsh desert operations. These aircraft thus still offer decades of usable airframe margin, making them potentially suitable for the USAF. For the USAF, airframe life matters more than calendar age—these jets still have decades of structural margin remaining. The timing is notable: the new Air Force One program, based on two heavily modified Boeing 747-8s, is years behind schedule, with delivery now pushed to 2028 at best (originally planned for 2024). Interestingly, two 747-8s with Boeing line numbers 1519 and 1523 were originally built for Russia’s now-defunct Transaero and were later earmarked for the Air Force One program. 📹: akino33 (YouTube)

🚨 NOW: President Trump has boarded the FORMER Air Force One in Turkey, reportedly to Mildenhall Air Force Base in the UK This is certainly the right call, as the new AF1 likely does not have the same countermeasures as the former AF1. The new AF1 is simply a "bridge" aircraft, as the real VC-25B Air Force Ones have been delayed over and over again, likely due to development and installation of advanced countermeasure systems. Keep 47 safe! 🙏🏻

QATARI B747-8 BBJ “GIFT” JET TO BECOME AIR FORCE ONE BY SUMMER 2026 🇺🇸 The U.S. Air Force says the luxury Boeing 747 donated by Qatar and being converted into a VC-25 “bridge” Air Force One is expected to be delivered no later than summer 2026, roughly a year after major modifications began. The aircraft must be completely stripped and rebuilt to meet presidential standards, including highly classified communications, defensive systems, and security upgrades to mitigate intelligence risks. While delivery is targeted for 2026, it remains unclear when it will become fully operational, as extensive testing may be required. President Trump previously suggested a February 2026 timeline.

‼️🇺🇸Why an Air Force Is Almost Impossible to Shoot Down Shooting down an air force is extremely difficult due to the combination of high speed combat aircraft, advanced radar coverage, electronic warfare capabilities, and modern defensive countermeasures. These systems work together to detect threats early, disrupt enemy targeting, and protect aircraft in hostile airspace. The complete explanation and technical details are covered in the video.

U.S. Air Force high-frequency radio (11175 kHz) is active. The ground station “Mainsail” is confirming the identity of two aircraft, callsigns “Rhetoric” and “Compress,” as they join a secure military communications network. This frequency is used for strategic and nuclear command; activity may be routine, but it also may be tied to high-level operations. Via Robert Jackson
