Trump Air Force One position labeled "completely ignorant" by aviation analyst

Richard Aboulafia, aviation analyst at the Teal Group, said the current Air Force One planes were made in the 1980s and have become obsolete. The planes are equipped with state-of-the-art communications technology and defense mechanisms to survive nuclear war or terrorist attacks, he said.

Anything in the $3 billion to $4 billion range would be reasonable, and a belief otherwise is "completely ignorant," he said.

"This is the wrong place to talk about cost control," Aboulafia said. "People aren’t upset in Washington about a relatively small program being canceled. They’re upset we have a president who doesn't understand what is needed to be president."

On reading yours i wondered if Trump could be thinking of using his own plane .. one opinion

Regarding the bizarre possibility that Trump might want to use his own plane instead of Air Force One, Aboulafia was beside himself.

"That's up there with talking-to-aliens-on-the-toaster weird," he said.


in the same article about that.






It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
