Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!
The ‘-8’ was heavily re-engineered in almost every system. The computing technology is several orders of magnitude more advanced and complex. That means engineering, and engineers cost money. Avionics are a substantial portion of the cost of an aircraft.
And people play it because the aircraft is safer, more efficient and reliable. That means it does more and costs less to operate. So companies make their money back.

“..Yep...0zika & the Dims have to pay for all of that food/shelter...”
And medication, education, crime, jail costs, deportation costs....and the list goes on.
$4 billions for a presidential plane!
Do we need more proof that what we have is not a presidency but royalty?
It’s probably been hundreds of years since any royalty was allowed to spend as much on personal expenses as the US president’s family is allowed to spend.
I agree. I have seen many instances where the customer’s actions drive up the cost and time of a project.
No. At the earliest, the first of 3 planes would be delivered in 2024 which would be in the last year of the next president's second term assuming reelection.
No $4 billion for 3 nearly identical planes.
