The United Kingdom Gets Own 'Air Force One' | CNBC
Royal Air Force! ❤️❤️❤️
The British one would be Grey wouldn’t it.
@PickelJars ForHillary THIS lmaooooo
@lil wassabi scottish/irish weather is worse.
Glynn Wright laughing at this comment since it’s now white with a giant Union Jack 😂
White now.
to represent the english weather
0:50 *proceed to brag about the fact that “everything is better in America“*
Funny boasting about size when China’s presidential plane are larger than the current AF-1. I guess that is why new AF-1 was order.
@Gurj Rai Not ALL Americans. I happen to be disgusted by the fact that so many of my fellow countrymen cannot afford the medical care they need or medicine for that fact.
The Truth hurts, don’t it? XD jk
Why most of America is falling apart and so many Americans live in poverty. American are so proud of the fact that their military is so massive, all whilst being unable to afford medical care.
Then came Trump..lol
It’s other nickname is “Austerity Force One” as referred to in British Press when they announced it
Stop relying on the government for everything
I will go along with that. I was sat amongst them on the way to India on this plane. They ALL got together to invent a set of questions to stitch up the PM. When she didn’t answer the way that they wanted, they convened again to concoct a story about what she supposedly said. They are quite amoral.
Glynn Wright the press belong at the back hatch where they get tossed out
That’s because they put the press in coach class at the back of it, where they belong.
Should’ve brought back the Concorde
The Concorde is:
1. A big polluter
2. Too small to be a private aircraft
3. Over 20 years old
4. Expensive to fuel and operate
Conclusion :
Won’t work in modern standards
I’m an American, but have a British soul, I personally think it should have been painted with the Union Jack swirling around it. Like a waving flag wrapping around the entire aircraft.
When the USAF decided it was time to replace Air Force 1 & 2, they really liked the Airbus designs. However, they felt it was inappropriate to have a foreign manufacturer build the plane for the President of the United States, so the went with Boeing. The USAF also has a strict requirement that the plane must have 4 engines.
Well boris johnson has updated it 4 years later to something similar that you said. Check it out 😂
It has been now and is white.
It’s kinda like that now.
@Patrick EH here you go Mr. Know-it-all-who-knows-nothing, https://www.flightglobal.com/exclusive-us-considers-airbus-a380-as-air-force-one-and-potentially-a-c-5-replacement/76744.article
Magestic wish granted it is
We should have kept the Royal yacht.
What is new-q-ler war?
Since been resprayed and renamed “ hair force 1”
Vespina.
I love how this is news in America yet over here in Britain I heard that they were thinking about getting a plane for the pm.
What happened to Britain 😭😭
Its called the Mayfly.
looks worse then economy
I don’t think an American knows the difference between an apple and an orange so I don’t know what you’re trying to compare.
It definitely isn’t, and the bar service is free and endless.
* than
Woah cool!
Anybody know the name of the song playing in the background?
not two but three 747 were ordered
Ya bud it’s only 2
wrong, its 2
Yeah. Not named Canforce One for the U.K.
I figured that was an A330, I just knew it
A large catapult would have done the job.
Come on. He fell on his sword.
It should be named United Kingdom One
Scotty Bee doesn’t have to be if it part of our country
RAF 1 🤣
Gavin Austin it RAF MTRR A330-200 our Airforce aircraft and it gray for a reason
Scotty Bee yes because RAF A330 has refueling area on it wings and it modified as well
