The Air Force has already awarded Boeing $169M for work on design and upgrades to cut operation costs and overruns. They could simply restructure the deal to modify/upgrade the existing planes.

Responses:

also, the AF1 upgrade project isn't set to be completed (and planes in the air) until 2023 -- nm* - decline Dec 6, 07:31 4
- Which is why the oder needs to continue. The current AF1 planes were built in 1986. They will be ancient by 2023 -- nm - ty97 Dec 6, 07:32 3
  - (This isn't me being political BTW. We are going to need new planes, if we continue to plan to own planes) -- nm - ty97 Dec 6, 07:38 2
    - true. -- nm - decline Dec 6, 07:39 1
      - And if he can get a better deal...yay? But this is such small potatoes -- nm - ty97 Dec 6, 07:40
