Trump Switches Back To Qatari Plane After Departing Turkey Onboard Old Air Force One The recent switch between Air Force Ones, with President Trump briefly abandoning the new Qatari plane for the old Boeing 747, has raised more questions than answers about the security features and motivations behind the $400 million renovation.
The decision is part of a broader pattern of priorities in the Trump administration. Trump's hastily arranged trip to RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk, England, was ostensibly to give service members a tour of the Qatari jet.
However, it also provided a convenient excuse for him to swap planes mid journey on his return leg.
