Where is Marin? We need a Boeing insider's take on the Air Force One brouhaha.
I agree. Boing will build what is asked of them. If the requirements creep up, so will the price tag.
Reality is that Boeing will end up building it no matter what Trump say's.

... the air frames themselves is not the major costs. The real money is in the ECM And other 'custom' hardware and electronics.
Greetings,
I seem to recall, our former resident Boeing expert Mr. Marin reporting that Boeing had their wings made in China. Better check the new AF1 for bugs and structural integrity...
The better decide on it pretty soon. A few analysts are saying the 747 production line may shut down within the next couple of years due to declining orders for even freighters. At that point they may have to consider a twin engine platform.
