Air Force seeks Air Force One replacement

Why can't these jackasses just take the Metro like the rest of us?

I'm not the President, and I don't use the metro. I drive a car. But then again, I'm American.

Because some enlightened individual would push that sell out Obama in front of the train! LoL

Airbus decided not to offer the A380 when the last request was sent out a few years ago. They're not expected to offer anything this time either, so it appears that if Boeing can keep the 747-8 being built until then they win by default.

Except there's one little caveat in the request. The way the solicitation is worded, a company can buy an A380, modify it for Air Force One, and then sell it to the Air Force. So a third company can buy either a 747 or an A380, and then win the contract with it.

The first aircraft departed Victorville for the San Antonio modification center yesterday.
