The U.S. Air Force has completed work on converting a donated Boeing 747 from Qatar into a temporary presidential aircraft, with plans to have the modified jet operational for President Trump by this summer.
Military officials say the extensive modifications and testing phase for the former Qatari aircraft has been finished, preparing it to serve as an interim Air Force One while other presidential aircraft undergo maintenance or upgrades.
The converted 747 represents a unique addition to the presidential fleet, having been gifted by Qatar specifically for this temporary role in transporting the nation’s chief executive.
