AlohaI seriously doubt that it will not work because the plane has to land specific airports that has wide runway. What about the Boeing "Dreamliner" which is American made?
It would not surprise me, especially if the pressure fails.Do we really believe the President of the United States is going to fly in a foreign made plane?
I don't think so. Perhaps this is intended to put some pressure on Boeing.
Aloha:angry2: How loud can I say NO WAY ?
If they ever even seriously thought about it, anybody involved in elective office would feel their support sinking fast.
You are so right. How could I have possibly mentioned thinking and elected officials in the same sentence? Although, if there is anything they do think about it is getting reelected.Aloha:angry2: How loud can I say NO WAY ?

What scares me is how seldom Elected officials think, and please don't think that I am against all of them, there are just to few, that care about anything, except getting elected.
To the ones that Try Mahalo, may the public support you.
Thats naive. In todays day an age, considering any large project "American made" is preposterous. GM builds most of its US-bound cars in Canada, Toyota builds more cars in the CONUS than GM and Ford do. The majority of complex things are built with components from all over the world. As I recall, the Airbus uses GE or RR engines, and GEs are obviously "American". Beoing uses primarily RR engines in its 747, and I think I remember reading that the AF1 has RR engines. Which are British. And so on.:angry2: How loud can I say NO WAY ?

The President doesn't ride in a Cadillac, he rides in a custom built variation of a Chevy Suburban that looks sorta like a Cadillac DTS. But not really. And like the Beoing, Cadillac has designs, designers, and factories- around the world.I too highly doubt you'll see Air Force One as an Airbus aircraft. The runway requirements are far too great for it to be plausible since Air Force One needs to be able to takeoff and land at pretty much any commercial airport or AFB. They'll most likely continue to purchase Boeing equipment for the same reason the Limo is a Cadillac, it's an American design and an American company.
Yes, it is a custom built Cadillac based on the DTS. Still a Cadillac (made by GM) and made in the US.The President doesn't ride in a Cadillac, he rides in a custom built variation of a Chevy Suburban that looks sorta like a Cadillac DTS. But not really.
