President Trump is reportedly fuming about the fact that the public has caught on to the (obvious) safety issues with his new $400 million “flying palace” Air Force One gifted by Qatar, and it’s leading to journalists getting subpoenaed.

The converted Boeing 747-200s that acted as the primary Air Force One aircraft up until this point were definitely getting a bit old, and for years, there has been a contract in place for two replacement Boeing 747-8s. However, the delivery of those has been delayed massively, given the amount of special equipment that needs to be installed, to keep the president safe.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
