$6 billion is an incredible sum for two aircraft that already had airframes produced. Yes, I know its all in systems, but this is just over the top. I’ve been on both of the VC-25As before and I’m familiar with what goes into them. They are truly two of a kind, but Boeing doesn’t have their “A team” on these aircraft and I’m starting to doubt that Boeing even has an A-team any more. Every program they touch has problems.
Joe Biden doesn’t have a damn thing to do with the Austin airport running out of fuel, unless you want to also give him credit for the success of SXSW, a NASCAR race, et al. Seriously, you conspiracy nuts should find some other topic to dwell upon.
The people that work on the new VC-25s (and the current fleet when they are in depot) all have Yankee White clearances. These are a pain in the ass to get and maintain. If you were found to be the culprit in this, you would be instantly fired. Don't know who would be so stupid to risk this.
That is the job of the USAF Ravens. They protect the aircraft. The Secret Service protects the President. Ravens guard the aircraft literally all the time...even now when it is in build phase. When a VC-25 goes into depot, Ravens go with it. Raven duty is hard work, with frequent travel. The time spent at depot is more stable and often viewed as a break. Learned all this in my 3 years at Andrews.
The comm operators do far more than maintain internet. One thing learned during 9/11 was how quickly comms get overloaded. Systems like HF-GCSS showed their relevance. The change directly reflects the lessons learned. You need more crew to monitor and keep the President in contact at all times.
