This is probably the most well-maintained aircraft in the world.

@dsbizz1 Having retired from Army service after 41 Years, and specialized in Logistics, including the movement of Military equipment and personnel, I can say from first hand knowledge what I said earlier. The VIP Callsign is based on the Military Service providing the vehicle, and the Place of Succession of the VIP carried. If it were an USAF Helicopter, it would remain Air Force 1.

@agentfazexx

but even the most well-maintained aircraft has a human pilot

@390bullitt1968 - The official number is $375,000,000 per month, ( $4.45B-yr) but there are numerous secret deals and some think it is twice that or $9BB per yr.

that is $750,000,000 per month. It should be $0. Those dollars are recylced into weapons bought for the Taliban. I have to wonder how the 200 Taliban who ambushed the SEALs in Operation Red Wings, with state of the art RPG's, mortars and other weapons, found the money to buy them. Not from selling goat milk.

@390bullitt1968 - you mean $3.1 million a day, not $310 million a day you moron...
