Why are we still using 747s as Air Force One?
I get that it's an iconic aircraft and it has the cool little upstairs part. But Boeing sucks now and the 747 is like 8 generations behind modern aircraft. It was first introduced in 1968.
Contact Bombardier and Lear and ask for the biggest jets they make. IDK, maybe it will be cramped in there. Maybe do like a space-program-style investment in some kind of US company that can still make airplanes that are good airplanes.
Contact Lockheed Martin. Start with a military cargo aircraft as the base, and just make the inside nice. IDK, maybe that means it will be ugly.
There has to be some way that the US can produce aircraft we can be proud of still. Right?
Or buy an Airbus ;-)
If only there was a way to buy European goods without having to pay taxes on it at the border 🤔
I mean that would mean we'd have to take place on the world stage as an equal partner, instead of pretending we're super capable and we're still the best in the world at everything and we can do it ourself just like a big boy.
IOW, unacceptable
