Air Force One retires after 35 years
The American "Air Force One" aircraft, a modified VC-25A model, has moved into its final stage of service after landing at Andrews Air Force Base, where its retirement was announced. This comes as the first of the newly modified VC-25B aircraft is soon to be delivered; it is currently undergoing modifications to become the new replacement for the current presidential aircraft. These modifications are part of a multi-year project to update the presidential fleet, allowing the old planes to continue operating until the new replacements are ready. This process has also reignited debates over the cost of the upgrades and safety concerns.
