    From AMuzi@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 16 14:05:22 2025
    I learned today (Sen Markwayne Mullin) several details of
    the Qatari airplane situation previously unreported.

    Qatar has been trying to unload this large jet for a while,
    as the rest of their fleet are all smaller, more fuel
    efficient models, for which they have better spares and
    maintenance staff. This is their only 747-8.

    More, negotiations on this particular jet began over a year
    ago with the Biden administration.

    Why?

    There is no second Air Force One. The other developed
    serious structural failures and was retired.

    Tail number 28000 is a parked donor: https://www.planespotters.net/airframe/boeing-747-200-82-8000-united-states-air-force/rmgq7r

    Tail number 29000 is currently in service: https://www.planespotters.net/airframe/boeing-747-200-92-9000-united-states-air-force/el2kn3

    None of which changes my opinion, but it does fill out the
    details a bit.

    For the interested reader:
