President Trump did the unveiling on Friday. “The Air Force’s VC-25B Bridge aircraft has officially arrived at the Presidential Airlift Group and will commence its initial commissioning flights, marking the successful delivery of a secure, modified executive platform,” the US Air Force said.

Qatar’s gift of the aircraft, which is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, has raised some concerns and Trump has previously said it would be ‘stupid’ to reject the gift.

He has also fixated on replacing the aircraft, which have been in service since the 1990s, since his first term.
