A decades-long chapter in presidential aviation may be coming to an end as one of the iconic Air Force One aircraft appears set for retirement. White House officials and aides shared emotional tributes following what was described as the jet’s “last ride” after returning from the G7 Summit. The aircraft has served every U.S. president since George H.W. Bush and remains one of the most recognizable symbols of American power.
