WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump on Friday got a look at his upgraded Boeing 747, a plane gifted by Qatar, at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland as the aircraft neared delivery to join the Air Force One fleet.
The jumbo aircraft, offered by Qatar as a gift to the president last year, was overhauled by defense contractor L3Harris Technologies LHX.N and has been flight-tested and painted in a red, white, dark blue and gold livery that Trump chose.
The addition to Trump’s fleet provides a more modern and luxurious plane that the president, his aides, security detail and the media will travel in.
