Pentagon Eyes New Air Force One
The U.S. Air Force is looking at replacing the Boeing 747-200B "VC-25A" aircraft which serve as Air Force One when the President is on board. The acquisition program was authorized late last week by Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition Frank Kendall. The authorization also reportedly includes new Marine One helicopters as well.

The Fact Is, We are Now a Bankrupt Nation and Yes the 747's need to be parked so that our Elected Officials, who were Supposed to be Guiding Our Nation to Prosperity and the Pursuit Of Happiness, can travel in the mode they DESERVE ! My Vote is Cast for the Next Air Force One, A Beech 18!! Appropriate because Beech has been driven into Bankruptcy by these SAME LAME Gov't Officials who keep giving our DOD Contracts to FOREIGN Mfg.s Wake Up Americans! Stop rewarding people who are Taking Your Hard Earned Dollars and giving them to Foreigners!!
And please, don't call me "Mommy"! You are off the radar as far as I'm concerned. You know....It's your world and I'm just passing thru it.
Well, that didn't hurt me a bit! And I was never on "Your Back"! I'm pleased, and I hope you are as well, to have had the chance to met Neal Armstrom. He was truely a great man with integrity and he was humble at the same time. I admire people like that! And maybe the most imortant thing of all...is that he loved the space program and the possibilies that would create in "space". And what we on Earth would, can and will do in the future.
Donna, you are always saying, change makes the world go 'round. I agree, too a certain point. There is nobody in office that I would consider a "Hero"!
Neal Armstrong was a "Hero" in my eyes. And thankyou God for giving him life to experience and witness "Curiosity" and the amazing and unbelievable sights that he and the rest of the world saw on Mars. It's not a "dead planet"...it's just taking a time out. Neal Armsrong is a true hero to me. Maybe, it might behoove you to go to the conventions...not as a delgate but a USA commoner and voice your opinion. Can't hurt! This is not a polital forum. Let's stick with the subject on hand.

Okay mommy.
(But fyi, I said change makes the world go 'round ONCE.) Nor did I say anyone in office was a hero, but rather tongue in cheek, I alluded to how after they've left office and someone else has taken over, we then consider them the heroes. Now, I'm sure your advice is well intended (well, not really sure, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt) but it might behoove you to just GET OFF MY BACK.
PS-I personally knew Neil (not Neal) Armstrong ... he worked at Orbital Sciences and I had the pleasure of working with him many years ago.

At the risk of revealing my naivete, I ask the question: Does it actually matter that we know there is a plan for a new Air Force One either before the fact or even after the fact? Do "we" have the power or the privilege of waggling our finger and saying no, no, no, you can't buy that just yet?
