Re: New DW : Air Force One
I wonder how long the US president will fly the "old" 742... When will we see a 744?

Is there a need to replace it?

The aircraft is very much different from the 744, but it's already updated, even with CF6's engines.

Btw the 744 is OLD, perhaps the B748 is a better proposal?

Boeing already stopped making B744

A380 will never happen Airbus is pitching it but I dont think the US Gov is interested. The president will need to go all over the country and very few runways can handle an A380. I think we can count the airports that can handle the A380 on one hand. I dont think a 748 will be in the works yet considering that the current AF1's are still in pretty good condition. The last AF1 707's lasted 30 years. I wouldnt call these planes aging yet.

Re: New DW : Air Force One
I don't see a reason why. The 742 probably doesn't have many cycles on it. Also with the top notch maintenance. I could see it flying for another 20 or 30 years.

Better to waste taxpayers money on stimulus, bailouts and health care reform. I don't think this current president cares if he wastes taxpayers money.

I was thinking the same thing. It's not like its getting several cycles a day. Maybe several cycles a month at best.

I think your right. Because I know the Pres. have an B747 and the Vice Pres. has an B757..or a B767. I have heard that the A380 lower level will before the Pres and top level for Vice Pres. So if it comes out while Obama is pres. he'll have a HUGE plane.

Re: New DW : Air Force One
It was in the media that the A380 for AF1 idea was out there but I saw the article it seemed more of a what if, than the the Airforce asking about it. Besides if the president buys the A380 he will only be able to go to US 6 airports at most and I don't think Dulles or Ronald Reagan are one of them.

I just wonder when this country is going to wake up and realize what a mistake they made.

Re: New DW : Air Force One
Guys, Stay on the topic.. Thanks.

Why is Dragon re-releasing an old release?
