Goodbye Air Force One? Trump's luxury Qatari 747 jet almost ready to take over US Presidential fleet

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. Meanwhile, attention is turning to a Boeing 747 linked to Qatar that could soon join the presidential fleet, sparking debate over security, ethics, modernization, and the future of presidential air travel.
