Khaleej Times :
While US President Joe Biden is expected to bring in a raft of changes in his tenure, one of the most recognisable planes in the world that’s been in service since President George H.W. Bush’s reign in the early 1990s, the Boeing 747 Air Force One aircraft, is also set to be replaced. And Biden may become the first US president to ride the new Air Force One.
The aircraft that’s been in service for nearly three decades is on its way out and will be replaced by a spanking new Boeing 747-8i. Accroding to Boeing.com, the U.S. Air Force announced that it would continue the Boeing tradition with the 747-8 and it will replace the two 747-200s that serve as the presidential Air Force One fleet.
When the 747-8 takes flight as the next Air Force One, Boeing airplanes will mark more than half a century of presidential service through the Jet Age.
