It is about 20 ft longer and the wingspan is about 25ft wider than the existing "AF1" which is a SPEACIALLY BUILT 747-200 for the Air Force which other posters have pointed out. The current "AF1" is a variant called a VC25. There are only 2 of these in the world. Everything this asshole says is BS. It aint bigger than any other 747-800 that usually has ATLAS or Kalita Air or UPS on the side because it takes a cargo aircraft with gold lining to carry him and his load of BS. The new VC25 AF1's (747-800's) are currently being specially built for the Air Force and will be completed by 2027-2029. Once again theses are military versions of the 747-800 and will be the only ones in the world. They will carry the VC25 version designation. They are truly flying fortresses that can fly for months if needed. This one he has can't. As a matter of fact the Air Force version designation of this waste of our money FOR HIM is a made up VC25B, standing for "Bridge" meaning its just a 747-800. Its no different than me slapping chrome wheels and new paint on my 92 Ford F150 pick up and saying its now an F150"B" until I can afford a new one (which is never, wouldn't want a new one anyway ).

Also Qatar is dumping this on him because they don't want it anymore. Some sources over a year ago said Qatar was about to sell it off to the highest bidder.

He's a failed real estate used car snaked tonged self absorbed fucking terrorist to this country and the entire world. I wouldn't get on that POS in that hangar EVER!
